A Better Chance for Our Children is dedicated to providing permanency for children. We focus on finding families for waiting children, most from foster care and many with special needs. We believe that through education and support, families can develop the skills necessary to provide a stable, nurturing environment for these children. We prioritize this training and support so that waiting children have a better chance of overcoming the trauma they have experienced. We believe that all children deserve a chance to be the best people they can be and, to achieve this, it is in a child’s best interest to be with a properly trained and supportive family.

Tiyona started at ABC in 2022. Prior to that, she worked for Big Brothers Big Sisters for 16 years. She has worked with children professionally since graduating from the University of Delaware in 2002.
The most inspiring part of her job is creating a bond with the children she supports, seeing their strength, and watching them open up despite what they’ve endured.
Prior to joining ABC in 2018, Pam was a Family Crisis Therapist with the Division of Family Services, where she retired after 25 years of service. Pam provides direct services to children in the foster care system and oversees the Milford Rec-n-Respite program.
If we held an office talent show, Pam would wow everyone with her Mime Praise Dance and acting talent.
Celeste has been with ABC since day one! She handles pre-service training and post permanency workshops, projects, and events – including CAPS.
When she was five, Celeste was pretty sure she was going to be a big Broadway star. Her Broadway dreams never came true but, every once in a while, when she’s cleaning her house, she’ll break into song and pretend there’s an adoring audience enjoying her performance!
