How Are You Called To Support Families?

 
 

Supporting Foster & Adoptive Families Through Holiday Gifts!

The holiday season can often be a stressful time for foster & adoptive families.  As support team members, one way to show extra support is to celebrate the family through thoughtful holiday gifts and activities!

Gifts For the Family

  • Find fun & age-appropriate games the whole family can enjoy.
  • Purchase a movie the whole family can enjoy! Consider “Inside Out” as it’s a great resource for kids to better understand and conceptualize their feelings and emotions.
  • Purchase annual zoo or museum passes and offer to schedule a few days throughout the year where you’ll be able to take them.
  • Gift each child with an ornament customized with their name. Each time they look at the tree they’ll be able to see their ornament as part of the family tree.
  • Offer to provide a family photo shoot and order individual prints for each of the children and a larger print for the home.
  • Host a parent’s night/weekend out.  Order pizza, watch the kids, and give parents a night out and away from the busy household.
