Niños y Niñas en Cuidado de Crianza en Arizona te Necesitan

Cuando usted decide convertirse en madre o padre de crianza, el impacto que usted puede tener en los jóvenes necesitados de Arizona va mucho más allá que simplemente invitarlos a su hogar. Los padres y madres de crianza tienen la oportunidad de inculcar valores de por vida y ayudar a preparar a los niños y niñas en crianza temporal para un futuro brillante. Usted puede ser una parte esencial de la formación de estos niños para el futuro. Estas experiencias reales permiten a los futuros padres y madres de crianza (como usted) escuchar sobre lo que se necesita para cuidar a un niño o una niña en crianza, qué esperar, y como los padres y madres de crianza son esenciales ahora y siempre para los jóvenes de Arizona.

 

  • “Yo creo que hay tres cosas que son muy importantes: ser paciente, consistente y compasivo.”

    - Padre Sustituto Temporal

  • “Yo diría que es lo más difícil que uno puede hacer – como cualquier tipo de padre estaría de acuerdo – pero también es lo más gratificante.”

    - Madre Sustituta Temporal

  • “Estos niños sólo necesitan que una persona esté de su lado y que no se pierda la esperanza en ellos.”

    - Madre Sustituta Temporal

  • “Yo me convertí en padre sustituto temporal con el propósito de ayudar a empoderar a los niños y a las familias.”

    - Padre Sustituto Temporal

Foster a Future - Change 2 Lives (Spanish)

Mediante la presentación de este mensaje, yo/nosotros autorizo/amos al Departamento de Seguridad Infantil (DCS por sus siglas en inglés) para que libere la información anterior de acuerdo con la necesidad de conocimiento a otras agencias de colocación de niños/as y a contratistas del DCS, como sea necesario, a fin de comenzar con el proceso de certificación de adopción o de concesión de licencia como hogar de adopción temporal.

 

Otras Formas de Ayudar

Si usted desea ayudar con la adopción temporal de un/a niño/a, pero no está listo/a para convertirse en padre o madre en adopción temporal, hay otras maneras de involucrarse. Considere donar a una organización asociada con el DCS, convertirse en Defensor/a Especial Nombrado/a por la Corte (CASA), ofrecerse como voluntario/a en eventos de adopción temporal, o simplemente compartiendo un comunicado social para promover la conciencia con respecto a esta importante causa.

 

  • young boy playing next to a pond with fish

  • volunteer at foster events showing three people holding cameras and taking photos
    Sea Voluntario/a en Eventos de Adopción Temporal
  • CASA smiling next to her teen boy client
    Conviértase en Defensor/a Especial Nombrado/a por la Corte
