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.
Amy has been with ABCFOC since 2012, starting her career with the agency as an Adoption Case Manager. Amy has extensive knowledge of the impact of early trauma, grief and loss, and adoption-related challenges. She provides individual and family therapy services.
Amy has an immense love for animals. If she were to win the lottery tomorrow, she would open up an animal rescue and possibly a cat cafe!
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.
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.
Venus’ role includes supporting connections between children and families of all types. After leaving corporate America in 2007, Venus worked with individuals experiencing mental health challenges, domestic violence, and homelessness before joining the ABC team in 2022.
In another life, Venus is pretty sure she was a (rich) socialite.
