MAYVILLE – Chautauqua County remains in desperate need of Foster parents and as a result, the Chautauqua County Department of Health and Human Services Home Finding Team will offer a Foster Parent Open House.
The event will be held on Thursday, January 17 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Cassadaga campus of Park United Methodist Church, 25 Maple Avenue in Cassadaga.
During the event, attendees will learn about the various foster care and adoption programs and meet our Home Finding Team. This event is free and open to the public. Preregistration is not required.
Anyone interested in more information regarding the programs but are unable to attend the event can call 716-661-8051.
According to County Deputy Commissioner of Adult, Children and Family Services Leanna Luka-Conley, there are currently 115 children in foster care; with about half of them 5 years of age and under.
Stop paying the counties $86,000. Per child incentive and those kids being taken will drasticly reduce. We don’t need more foster homes, we need less children in the system. And inform tax payers that their money is being spent on these cps workers to learn manipulation, rather than to learn helping or correcting. Chautauqua county has the highest rates on children in homes w/o a legal cause.. A ” preponderance ” of evidence… ANYONE, can suggest that someone is on drugs and will loose their kids if reported to cps until proven not guilty.. These are facts.. Meanwhile our so called lawyers are being bought by this same system.. These are real facts. People need to be informed!
