News Release:
May is National Foster Care Month
All children deserve loving, caring adults in their lives. Unfortunately, there are too many Oregon children that just don't get what they need. Every day there are over 8,000 children in Oregon living in a foster care because of abuse or neglect at home. You can help. There's a critical need for more foster parents - people who can provide a temporary safe place for children to stay. Call 800.331.0503 or visit foster@Radopt.com today to learn how you can help our children.
