We started our adoption journey when our biological son Aiden was 11. We had gone many years unable to have another child but knowing God had bigger plans for our family. We first adopted Gabriel.

We started our adoption journey when our biological son Aiden was 11. We had gone many years unable to have another child but knowing God had bigger plans for our family. We first adopted Gabriel. He was a happy bouncy addition to our family. A few years later we felt the desire to foster. Through that experience, we met Mason and Damien, two brothers who fit into our home. After a while, it was clear that they would become a permanent part of our family. We viewed our family as a puzzle adding pieces along the way. Little did we realize a year ago Mason would add his puzzle piece with the birth of our first Grandchild, Grayson. It has been an exciting journey with many ups and downs. Children’s Aid Society has been there all along the way supporting us. We don’t need as much these days, but they keep track of us as our puzzle grows. It warms my heart."

Over the years, Children’s Aid Society has meant different things to different people. When it was a residential placement, you may have called it home. You may credit Children’s Aid Society for helping you expand your family through adoption. Perhaps you took classes to help you learn new parenting techniques that eventually helped you
Over the years, Children’s Aid Society has meant different things to different people. When it was a residential placement, you may have called it home. You may credit Children’s Aid Society for helping you expand your family through adoption. Perhaps you took classes to help you learn new parenting techniques that eventually helped you regain custody of your children. Maybe your role was to foster a child until they were able to return to their birth family. Some of you have been changed by our mentoring program, whether you were a mentor or a mentee. Maybe your memories of Children’s Aid Society consisted of our mental health workers coming to your home to help your family reconnect and overcome obstacles. Hundreds of children have passed through the doors of our daycare; some stayed until they started kindergarten, and some continued to attend the after-school program. Children’s Aid Society has been a part of so many of your lives, and we recognize the difference you have made in our lives as well. We thank you for trusting us to be a part of your life whether it was for a few months or several years. Programs have changed and evolved, but our general goal has remained the same over the years: to support families and children. I look forward to seeing what 2024 has in store for us all.
