There’s no manual. No perfect roadmap. Just you — doing your best, one day at a time.

Parenting doesn’t look the same for everyone, and it shouldn’t have to. What matters most is the love, care, and presence you bring. And that’s more than enough. 💛

Behind every costume and candy bag are families making special memories together. We’re grateful for the incredible foster parents and supporters who bring joy and stability to children and teens all year long.

“I’m not doing enough.” “I should be stronger.”

If you’ve ever had these thoughts while caring for a child, please hear this: You are doing something extraordinary.

You don’t have to be perfect. You just need to be present, loving and willing to keep trying. That’s what changes lives. 💚

It’s okay to not be okay. Let’s normalize mental health screenings.

For children and teens, that can mean catching depression or anxiety before it grows heavier. With the right support, healing and hope are always possible. 💚

You may have seen it in your own work:
• A teen whose mood suddenly shifts and starts talks about va**ng with friends.
• A parent who leans on alcohol every night to cope with stress.
• A young adult who insists their “study pills” are harmless because “everyone is using them.”

These are real challenges facing youth, families and communities today. Substances change, slang changes and trends shift quickly which makes it hard to keep up.

Join our Commonly Misused Substances training to get 2 FREE CEUs, plus the tools to have judgment-free conversations with youth and adults about substance use. Register today:

Caring for kids takes everything. That’s why caring for yourself matters, too.

Self-care isn’t a luxury for foster parents, it’s an essential. While spa days and coffee runs are nice, real self-care means meeting your basic needs so you can keep showing up strong:
- Prioritizing rest
- Leaning on your support system
- Saying “yes” to respite care
- Reaching out when you need to talk

At KVC West Virginia, we’re here to support you every step of the way. Because when foster parents are cared for, kids feel it too. 💜

You may not see it when you meet them, but many children and teens in foster care are carrying unseen stories of loss, fear and resilience. What changes everything? Having someone who listens, someone who stays, someone who says: You are safe. You are not alone. 💚
