Needed! Foster and Adoptive Parents

DELAWARE TRIBAL SOCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT

All children need a loving touch, kind words, safety, security, and a family. These aren’t optional in a child’s life. These are things that are needed for healthy development of children. These things make the difference between a life of success and a life of struggle.

That’s what you can do as a Foster/Adoptive Parent for Delaware children who, by no fault of their own, are in out-of-home placements. Did you ever wonder why somebody didn’t do something about that? Then you realized that you are that somebody! You can make the difference in the lives of Delaware children. The Delaware Tribal Social Services Department is recruiting foster parents for placement of Delaware children who have been removed from their parents, family member or caregiver for any number of reasons. Examples of these are substance abuse, abuse and neglect, domestic violence and a parent’s inability to handle the stressors of being a parent.

Contact our Social Services Manager, Lacey Harris, for more information on how you can make a positive difference in the lives of Delaware children (918-337-6590, or lharris@delawaretribe.org).

Our mission at Delaware Tribal Social Services is to protect children from abuse and neglect while strengthening and preserving families. However, without the help of people like you, Delaware Tribal members, and other Native Americans, these children often end up in the homes of complete strangers, leaving behind relatives, culture, and heritage.
