East Lakes Foster and Adoptive Parent Association

November is

🩷Foster care is meant to be temporary. The goal is that children can safely return home to their families. When that isn’t possible, adoption can give a child the security of knowing who will be there for them as they grow up and long after.

That’s worth celebrating. And even on a day filled with hugs, smiles, and courthouse photos, there can be grief, too. A child can be excited about being adopted and still miss the people they love. Both feelings deserve room on adoption day and in the years that follow.

This month, we celebrate with the children and families who are celebrating. And to every child whose story includes adoption, we honor your whole story, including the people, memories, and connections that matter to you.🩷

Meet Liz!🩵

Resilient, expressive, clever, and funny, Liz goes out of her way to make the people around her laugh. She loves to draw and sing — and she’s very good at both. She’s an animal lover who especially loves big dogs, and as she puts it: “I like cats cause they’re like me. They’re cuddly to the people they like.”

Liz gets along well with kids of all ages, especially little ones, and she thrives in a supportive home that builds her up and helps her see what she's capable of. She may be slow to warm up, but once you meet her, you'll be glad you did!

Help us spread the word about Liz and the many wonderful things that make her who she is!
