St. Mary of the Assumption Church was the latest site for DCCH Center for Children and Families to inform parishioners of the many services the agency offers. Most urgent is the message that more foster and adoptive parents, mentors, and respite providers are being sought for the youth in Northern Kentucky. Prior DCCH foster/adoptive family, Kevin and Maria Stanton with daughters Ryann and Anna were on hand to help share information and pass out St. Joseph – foster father of Jesus prayer cards. DCCH is looking for more opportunities to partner with other churches to help spread the word.
May is National Foster Care Month, so please thank a foster/adoptive parent you know, say a prayer for them and help us recruit good people to care for all the children in the foster care system. For more information on how you can help, give our team a call!
Dakota and Julia celebrated the adoption of their three little boys today!
The family sported matching shirts claiming April 17th to be Geiman Adoption Day. The three brothers were smiling and hugging all relatives and friends who came to celebrate with them. The extra special piece about this story is that during their fostering journey, Julia and Dakota were blessed with baby Nora. She now has three big brothers to look out for her!
Congratulations, Geiman family!
DCCH is proud to announce another adoption finalization. Bradley Allen joined the Duncan family with a big grin and joyous anticipation at the Kenton County Family Court Room. Ever since being placed in their foster home in August 2021, he has been awaiting this day.
Joe and Jess Kues celebrated an adoption finalization. Even before being sworn in for testimony, thirteen-year-old Steven interrupted Family Court Judge Abigail Voelker to announce he wished to become a Kues. He hammered the gavel down, leaving no doubt of his new official status. Just short of two years he has been living with the Kues family when joining their lives through foster care. Steven was welcomed by brothers Kian and Donavan, and big sister Alannah. A court room full of people with many relatives and friends came to mark the special milestone in his life. Congratulations Steven and the Kues family!
