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.
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.
Sharia joined ABCFOC in 2021, driven by a passion for helping others. She previously volunteered with AmeriCorps and worked at Habitat for Humanity.
At 5, Sharia was pretty sure she’d be a lawyer when she grew up, but she\’s grateful for her psychology education & current career.
