WHY RACE?
LoveMoves.Us vision is to see every family, who chooses to foster or adopt, flourish. The need for families is quite clear. Every child belongs in a family and it's only through family support that children thrive.Not everyone can foster or adopt, but everyone can do something.
The challenges of overcoming years of institutionalization, neglect, abuse and trauma can be difficult, but there is hope. With the right support, an evidence-based care model, and a network of people who understand the unique challenges of parenting a child who comes from another family, we can help families flourish!
Not only can you help create awareness of the need, but you will help provide community, encouragement and support for vulnerable children and families who foster or adopt.
