"Pinebrook helped us adopt our daughter seven years ago and it was a wonderful experience!" said a woman to a Pinebrook staff member at a community expo recently.
"I can't imagine my life without her," an ecstatic mom told her adoption caseworker.
During their journey through the adoption process, Mr. and Mrs. Davis had already fallen in love with their future daughter when they learned that she had a sister in need of a loving family too. The couple made the decision to adopt both children. The children are now living happily together with their forever family.
Pinebrook Family Services has helped 31 International and 85 Pennsylvania Statewide Adoption and Permanency Netwook (SWAN) adoptive families to prepare for adoption; this year 24 children acheived permanency and were welcomed into their forever families. This included children with special needs through SWAN and in collaboration with other entities accredited by the Council on Accrediation (COA).
100% of the SWAN adoptions remained intact with no children experiencing disruption in their adoption.
Every child needs a safe and nurturing family, one that loves them unconditionally. For many children, this is unfortunately not the norm. They need help. Some of these children just need a little support, a comforting hand, a shoulder to lean on. Others with more severe psychological and emotional problems require a more substantial, determined and sustained effort. Since 1979, Pinebrook has been helping thousands of children in northeastern Pennsylvania to grow and thrive, one child at a time.
Families come in all shapes and sizes. Many of them, thought to be broken beyond repair, have been mended and made whole again through Pinebrooks nurturing support.
Whether you need help, know someone who needs assistance, or wish to lend us a helping hand, please contact Pinebrook today.
