We strongly support efforts to enable family members be primary in caring for at risk kids.
 

We have long been involved with caring for at risk kids, providing emergency family care in support of DSS, becoming foster parents when asked by DSS, supporting and cheering on Va Kids Belong in their efforts to find "forever families" for kids in the foster care system, and being directly involved with the Virginia Community College System's Great Expectations program to ensure that outstanding kids aging out of Foster Care get the kind of special financial and familial family love needed to enable them to continue their education and careers to become successful and outstanding citizens of the state and the world.  We believe these regulations will help keep Virginia kids safe, especially by supporting them staying with family members who can best support them and provide the love and care they deserve, and by providing them with financial support.
