You can make a difference in a child's life by becoming an inspiration, a parent, and most of all, a friend. This is your opportunity to become a foster parent and give a chile the love he or she deserves.

Foster children need security, stability, and continuity in their relationships. As a foster parent, you can take great satisfaction in helping children learn these values. All you need is patience, love, and a willingness to teach your foster child to succeed in his or her world. You can become their inspiration, family, and friend.

Consider foster parenting, because you know raising a child takes more than love. We provide support and training for our foster parents.

For more information on Building Blocks, or to sign up for our summer training sessions, please call Rachel Kallhoff at 1-800-689-0945, or visit our website: www.BuildingBlocksForKids.org
