I just got the official invitation for our foster care agencies foster parent appreciation celebration. This year it is being held at the Tanganyika Wildlife Park. We get to tour the part, and then enjoy a late lunch and an appreciation ceremony. I have always wanted to visit this zoo, so I'm pretty excited!

In the past, foster care agencies have done a picnic as well as little gifts for their foster parents.

One year at a picnic we received a nice mug filled with Hershey Kisses and a DVD about the foster care program, so that we could bring more families into foster care. What a nice surprise!

What has your agency done for you?
