November is National Adoption Awareness Month and National Adoption Day is Saturday, November 23rd. The awareness day was founded by Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute, Alliance for Children’s Rights and Children’s Action Network in 2000 and is now celebrated nationwide.

According to nationaladoptionday.org, “National Adoption Day is a collective effort to raise awareness of the more than 125,000 children waiting to be adopted from foster care in the United States.” 

Did You Know – Facts and Numbers

Facts are taken from a recent report posted by the Administration for Families and Children, a branch within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Resources. 

  1. Over 123,000 children and youth are waiting to be adopted. They are also at risk of aging out of foster care without permanent family connections. (AFCARS report)
  2. Of the 123,000 children and youth waiting to be adopted:
    • 52% are male
    • 48% are female
    • 22% are African American
    • 22% are Hispanic
    • 44% are Caucasian
    • The average age is eight years old
    • 11% are between 15 and 17 years old
    • The average time in foster care is 31 months
  3. Approximately one in five children in the U.S. foster care system waiting to be adopted are teens.
  4. Only 5 percent of all children adopted in 2017 were 15 – 18 years old.
  5. The risk of homelessness and human trafficking is increased for teenagers in foster care.

TC Celebrates by Offering Free Childcare

As a nanny agency who is dedicated and committed to helping families and children thrive, we support this day with something special.

In honor of National Adoption Day, we are giving 5 hours of FREE childcare to any Phoenix family in our agency that has an adopted child or is a foster parent. Enjoy a date night or a mom’s night out, because you deserve it!

Celebrating National Literacy Month

*** The following article is written by Stephanie Sanstead, owner and founder of CommuniCadence, a PR company focused on building brand awareness and brand recognition through strategic content marketing.

PARTNERING UP WITH ARIZONAN’S FOR CHILDREN

Trusting Connections is proud to support and celebrate National Literacy Month this November with two signature events.

With a legacy of supporting the communities they serve, Trusting Connections Nanny Agency is proud to partner with Phoenix based non-profit, Arizonan’s for Children and aid in their mission to meet the needs and improve the fragile lives of the children in Arizona’s foster care system.

The partnership provides tangible opportunities for Trusting Connections to use their resources and expertise to support area families.  In keeping with one of their core values to be community servers, Trusting Connections’ Phoenix Care Director, Ana Rizzo and team of agency employed nannies host a monthly book reading and arts/crafts activity at the Arizonans For Children Visitation Center which is a safe, family-friendly space in which children in foster care can safely visit with their parents. 

As Care Director and resident Matchmaker for the Phoenix-Chandler location, Rizzo helps connect compatible families and nannies and manages the Phoenix team. She studied cognitive neurosciences with a focus on child/human development at the University of Arizona while working for Trusting Connections as a nanny. Before joining the leadership team, Rizzo worked in conjunction with the Department of Child Safety aiding in the reunification process and providing parenting expertise and aide services. In this role, Ana worked one-on-one with children going through difficult situations and managed therapeutic case plans making her well-suited to oversee and the vision for this partnership.

“Foster children want to be just like other children- with forever families, playing sports, day-dreaming, reading, being read to and participating in a craft session with someone special to them, said Rizzo.  “These events celebrate the tireless efforts of Arizonan’s for Children as just one initiative that supports their work by augmenting their family programming.”

“We are indebted to the nonprofit organizations like Arizonan’s for Children that have a meaningful positive impact on our local communities,” said Rosalind Prather, Trusting Connections Co-Founder. “We are honored to be a small part of their important programs and services.”

Celebrating National Literacy Month – Two Events

In honor of National Family Literacy Day, November 1, which focuses on special activities and events that showcase the importance of family literacy programs and National Literacy month, Trusting Connections will host two events in November. On Nov. 1 they will be reading “If You Give A Mouse a Cookie” by Laura Numeroff and doing mouse shape artwork along with completing an alphabet chart. And on Nov. 19, they will be reading “Thanksgiving is For Giving Thanks” by Margaret Sutherland and enjoying a Thanksgiving craft. All participating families at the November events will receive a reading brochure from the International Reading Association.

About Arizonans for Children

As of July 2019 there are over 13,400 children in foster care in Arizona. While removing children from their dangerous family setting provides needed safety, entering the foster care system does not assure a “normal childhood.” This challenging journey often involves multiple moves, inconsistent care giving, and emotional trauma stemming from feeling helpless and isolated. Arizonans for Children Inc., incorporated as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit, exists to facilitate opportunities and provide effective solutions to alleviate hardships and improve the fragile lives of the abused, abandoned, and neglected children in foster care. It is a tragedy, in this present time, far too many children continue to find their well-being jeopardized.
