Whereas, the American family, serving as the primary source of love,
identity, self-esteem, and support, is the very foundation of our
communities and our nation; and
Whereas, there are currently 2,469 children in foster care in Contra Costa
County due to problems of abuse and neglect who need the temporary
safety and security of a stable foster family until they can achieve a safe,
permanent family environment, and
Whereas, emergency foster families open their homes and hearts to these
children in crisis, often in the middle of the night and without notice,
comforting and holding these frightened and confused children; and
Whereas, over 475 foster families in Contra Costa County dedicate
themselves to providing these children with the love and values that help
prepare them for responsible adult living, and
Whereas, numerous public and private agencies worm to increase the
public's awareness of the needs of children in foster care and the enduring
and valuable contribution of foster parents.
Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Board of Supervisors declares
May 2000 as FOSTER PARENT RECOGNITION MONTH in Contra Costa
County.
