Agency Doubles Goal of Reunifying Children with Families

December 7, 2020 by Janella Eccleston

As we celebrate National Adoption month, we are proud to announce that we have reunified 22 children this year with their birth parents or relatives. The Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) had set our goal at eleven children and we are thrilled to have exceeded it by 100%.

At Saint Dominic’s Family Services, our objective is to find permanency for a child with their birth parents or relatives. When we cannot, we look towards those parents willing to adopt and give a child renewed hope for a positive future. We want the child, whether with birth or adopted parents, to have the most fulfilling life possible. Adoptive families are equally important to our children as they create the foundation that these children could not find with their biological families.

These children and youth have been supported through intervention and counseling by Saint Dominic’s Family Services for up to 12 months. We recognize that many of the children placed in our care, and the families we serve have experienced intense trauma. We are here to support and guide these individuals through this difficult time. 

It is critical that these children are placed in a permanent home where that are loved and nurtured. Until then, our Family Foster Care Program provides a child with a safe loving environment that promotes growth and development and enables the child to maximize their fullest potential. For more information about our Foster Care and Adoption programs click here.

Celebrating Adoption Month at SDFS

December 7, 2020 by Janella Eccleston

Throughout the month of November, the New York City Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) recognized National Adoption Month by celebrating New Yorkers who have adopted and professionals who work to support the adoption process.

Meet Denise Chaddick, the SDFS 2020 Adoptive Parent Honoree who have adopted 3 children since the beginning of 2020.

National Adoption Month is celebrated every November across the country to remind everyone that there are children and teens in foster care who cannot return home and who need loving forever families.

We celebrate Ms. Chaddick for her selflessness and our dedicated team, who, despite the challenges have continued to support the process.
