Running For Dad
It’s time to blow the dust off my running shoes and start training for the 2008 Santa Clarita Marathon!

The goal of foster care is to reunify children with their birth families whenever possible but sometimes that cannot happen. When children cannot go home, an adoptive family is sought. Many foster families adopt the children for whom they have been caring.
