Forgotten Children - Lifting the
Wait for Children in Foster Care

Join us Tuesday, July 26th at the Floreano Riverside Convention Center where our guest speaker will be Charles Reaves, Executive Director of Children Awaiting Parents. 

Children Awaiting Parents (CAP) is a national, nonprofit organization governed by a volunteer board of directors. For 40 years, they have been dedicated to finding adoptive homes for America's waiting children.

CAP's mission is to recruit foster and adoptive families across the United States for children who have been waiting the longest for a family. Their waiting children are often older, minorities, sibling groups who wish to be placed together, or children with emotional, mental and/or physical disabilities - children who are typically categorized as "special needs" or "hardest to place."
