Pride and Joy, Finding Families for LGBTQ Youth in Foster Care
http://www.familybuilders.org
Sadly, many lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youth end up alone and unwanted. Rejected by their birth families and by potential foster parents because of their sexual orientation or gender identity, these youth survive in a system that cannot adequately fulfill the role of parent or family. There are thousands of children and youth in foster care in the Bay Area. A disproportionate number of these children are LGBTQ. Until recently, this group has been invisible. It's time that we, as individuals and as a community, step up to help these young people grow up to be healthy and happy adults. We need people- gay and straight, young and old, couple and singles- to open their hearts and homes. Family Builders is currently recruiting families for our Pride and Joy program, a foster care program for LGBTQ youth. If you are interested, please contact 510-272-0204 or kids@familybuilders.org to learn more about this opportunity.
