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.
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.

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.
Emily started ABCFOC in 2025. She plays a role in managing office operations and supporting our team of specialists. Previously she worked as a manager and worked in hospitality and customer service for about 15 years.
When she was 5, Emily was pretty sure she’d be a veterinarian when she grew up.
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.
