Open Your Heart and Your Home to a Latino Baby
On any given day, there are about 1,000 Latino babies and toddlers in the San Diego County foster care system, waiting to be "cradled" in loving arms.
La Cuna is Spanish for "cradle," a place of safety and comfort for babies. We are a private nonprofit foster family agency that creates new futures for the youngest foster children. Many of our children (approximately half) are adopted by their La Cuna family.
May is Foster Care Awareness Month, and here are 5 ways you can help change the life of a San Diego foster child.
Foster the Love of a child - Become a La Cuna Parent! 95% of the children placed by La Cuna stay in ONE home until they are reunited with their rehabilitated biological families, or adopted, usually by their La Cuna families.www.lacuna.org
