What a tough year it has been for the people of
Alabama. With the devastating tornadoes, the ever painful economy, and the daily
reports in the news of crime, child abuse and bullying, among others, we want
to celebrate some good things going on in our state and local communities.
Children’s Aid is making a difference!
Youth are learning how to treat their peers with respect and dignity, and to expect the same from others.
Youth are learning to take responsibility for their own actions.

In a
prevention group offered by CAS at a local middle school, youth were asked to
share
“How they
are Valuable and Responsible.” Above is an
excerpt of one student’s written response.
Families affected by the tornadoes are receiving
long term relief.
Homeless young mothers are provided a safe place to stay and are learning how to safely care for themselves and their children.
The destructive cycle of child abuse is disrupted by stabilizing fragile families and creating new families for orphaned children and youth.

In a support group offered by Children’s Aid, families were asked to
share “What Adoption Means to Me.” Above is one shared by a teenager hoping to help other children find a
forever family.
These are just a few of the stories we are
celebrating at Children’s Aid. Please join in our celebration by helping to create
new celebrations. A holiday gift to Children’s Aid will produce more stories
worth celebrating for another 100 years.
