FOSTER FRIDAY
Foster Parent Spotlight: David & Erica
David and Erica have been foster parents for over a year and have already made a meaningful difference in the life of a child in their care. They lovingly fostered one child until she was able to be safely reunified with her family, supporting her every step of the way.
David and Erica are deeply committed to the children placed in their home, working hard to ensure all their needs are met. They love and care for each child as if they were their own, providing safety, stability, and warmth.
Thank you, David and Erica, for your dedication to fostering and for providing a safe and loving home for our kids. Your compassion and commitment truly make a difference. 💙
Foster Family Spotlight: Erik and Callie Beck
Erik and Callie have been licensed foster parents for over a year and have made a meaningful impact in the lives of many children. They’ve provided respite care for several children, including sibling groups, always offering warmth and stability.
About eight months ago, they welcomed a toddler into their home and worked closely with the professional team to support reunification — which was successfully achieved! Throughout this journey, they provided a loving, nurturing environment and maintained consistent communication with the child’s birth parents, even overcoming a language barrier to ensure ongoing connection and support.
The Beck family exemplifies the heart of foster care — working hand in hand with the professional team to care for a child from placement through to permanency.
Thank you, Erik and Callie, for your dedication, compassion, and commitment to our foster children and their families!
🌟Amanda & Phillip, Our Amazing Foster Parents! 🌟
We are thrilled to introduce Amanda and Phillip, dedicated foster parents who have opened their hearts and home to two foster children, along with raising their three biological children. With a deep understanding of trauma-informed parenting and child development, they go above and beyond to support the medical, emotional, educational, and developmental needs of the children in their care.
Amanda and Phillip are not only outstanding caregivers but also vital members of the professional team, serving as mentors to the children’s biological families. Their compassion, dedication, and tireless advocacy make a world of difference. We are truly grateful to have them as part of our foster community!
Introducing Marilyn & Cole
We are thrilled to welcome Marilyn & Cole into the Camelot family! Initially licensed as foster parents for the 0-4 age group, they went above and beyond to help a teenage girl in need of placement.
This young lady has been in their home for a few weeks now and, despite some struggles before arriving, she is doing well under their care. We are incredibly grateful to have Marilyn & Cole as part of our team, providing love and support to our children.
Thank you, Marilyn & Cole, for your dedication and kindness. Welcome to the Camelot family! 💖
Introducing Tatiana and Erikka
Tatiana and Erikka have been foster parents since December 2020. The two were initially motivated to foster to ensure that every child in their community would have a safe place to sleep and a family to come home to while in foster care.
Just recently the family provided a forever home for three children that they had in their care for over a year through adoption. Tatiana and Erikka have expressed that they are happy to continue to foster and welcome new children into their family and home.
Throughout their fostering journey, they have cared for children ages 0-17 and have worked closely with birth parents whenever possible to get their children back home safely. The caregivers take pride in the relationship that they are able to maintain with the teens that have left their home as well as the birth parents that they have worked with in the past. Thank you both for all you do for our children and families. LSF is lucky to have you!
Introducing Carolyn and Guy
Carolyn and Guy are one of our more experienced foster families who have dedicated their lives to caring for some of our more challenging teen boys. During their time as licensed foster parents they have provided a home for over 100 teens. We are lucky to have such caring souls for our children. They are always willing to help with respite for all the children and almost never say no to a child coming into their home. You both are valued members of the Camelot Family. Thank you, Carolyn and Guy, for all you do for our children each and every day.
