We are continuing in the path of giving every child a caring household to live in, and that is why your donations helped us a lot to visit families and see how they are doing. We would like to keep visiting them, thanks to your generosity.
Since the first months of 2016 we have been focusing on giving the families some support, directly at their homes. We have been visiting them to see how are they doing, especially to monitor how the relationship between adoptive/foster parents and their children is developing. According to our experience it is very important to see a family in its natural environment. Parents are more relaxed than in our premises and children are less shy. Therefore we can see how they communicate and give them practical counseling in the daily situations they are facing.
Some of the families live in remote places and our centers aren’t accessible for them. We are thankful to our donors because they give us the opportunity to travel and visit those families at home. Several of our therapeutical methods are designed to be used in a home rather than in a counseling room – e.g. touch therapy, which is of essential utility to the development of the relationship between a substitute parent and his child. We apply it to all of the new families. In the previous months we saw the great impact of Touch therapy in deepening the family´s relationship. It brought joy and greater selfconfidence to adoptive and foster parents and relaxed the children.
Your donations helped us and will keep helping us to find new tools always more useful for the well-being of foster parents and their children!
