Department of Human Services Hosts 32nd Annual Pennsylvania Permanency Conference Highlighting Adoption Successes: https://bit.ly/3VBHaB1

“Every child deserves a childhood in a loving home with a supportive family, and each and every one of us has a vested interest in making sure our children have safe, permanent and loving homes,” said DHS Secretary Dr. Val Arkoosh. “DHS and our partners at the county level, foster and adoptive parents, and the professionals who support children and families at all parts of the child welfare system all share the goal of finding Pennsylvania’s children and youth their forever home, and this collaborative work has been successful in finding permanency for more than 58,000 Pennsylvania children. If anyone has a place in your heart and in your home for a child, I urge you to please consider adoption.”

When the Cadette Girls Scouts from Troop 51441 in Hawley found out that many children in foster care only have garbage bags to transport their belongings, they decided to take action. The girls coordinated with their families and communities to donate 72 duffel bags to three foster care organizations in Wayne and Pike counties —KidsPeace, Wayne County Children and Youth Services and Pike County Children and Youth. Thank you for making a meaningful and direct impact on the lives of members of our communities with this selfless act of kindness.
