May is Foster Care Awareness Month, and there’s a growing need for foster parents in Tennessee.

According to Tennessee Kids Belong, nearly 8,000 children are in foster care in the state, almost half of whom could legally be adopted right now. The rest just need a temporary, safe and loving place before they can return home to their biological families. Youth Villages is just one of the many organizations in our area that works with foster children and families.
