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.

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!
Misty provides our children and families with MyLife to Home assessments services. She joined ABC in July 2024 with 20+ years of experience as a social worker.
Misty is an adoptive parent and former foster parent who loves theater and crafts.
Laurie has been with ABCFOC from the beginning and has over 30 years of experience in adoption and foster care. She provides support to families throughout their journey of adoption or permanent guardianship.
If she won the lottery tomorrow, Laurie would locate a vacation home in Florida to share with family and friends.
