Our Mission

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.

Upcoming Events

Meet the Team


  • Cindy Klein

    Child and Family Specialist

    Cindy offers support to children and families as they explore their foster care/adoption journey. She has 5+ years of nonprofit experience and joined ABC in 2023.  

    When Cindy was 5, she was pretty sure that she would be a Pediatric Neuromuscular Doctor when she grew up, until she was old enough to understand the amount of schooling that would be required of her.

  • Pam Starling

    Child and Family Specialist, Program Coordinator for Milford Rec-n-Respite

     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. 

  • Amanda Bright

    Wilmington Office Manager & Program Coordinator for Wilmington Rec-n-Respite 

    Amanda keeps the office running smoothly and assists with accounting and billing.  She also oversees the Wilmington Rec-n-Respite program. She joined ABC in 2022 after 6 years in banking and 2 years as a stay-at-home parent to her children. 

    Best Piece of Advice: “This too shall pass.” It is helpful to keep in mind that the stress will subside, and to just focus on what you can control.

  • Yasmine Smith

    Child and Family Specialist

    Yasmine works directly with children and families, helping them build connections. Yasmine joined the ABC team in 2022 after graduating from Cabrini University with a bachelor’s in social work. 

    When Yasmine was 5, she was pretty sure she’d be a pediatrician when she grew up.
