Fostering ISN’T scary! What’s scary is the possibility of a foster youth not getting to experience Halloween fun!

Many children in foster care haven’t gotten the opportunity to experience trick-or-treating, dressing up in a fun costume, or watching Halloween movies with loved ones. You have the chance to give them these firsts, and many more!

Learn more about fostering with us. No tricks, just treats 🎃 learn more at necco.org

Today, we celebrate one of the most beautiful moments in a child’s journey—**adoption day!** 🥹✨

What started with a family opening their hearts and home has grown into something truly priceless: a forever family. Through every challenge, every milestone, and every moment in between, this family continued to choose love, commitment, and each other.

At NECCO, we are honored to have been part of their journey and to witness this incredible chapter unfold.

We are beyond grateful for families who say **YES** and show children what it means to belong, to be loved, and to finally be home. 🏡💜

Congratulations to Connie and Alysia!

🏡 **HELP US SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT FOSTER CARE!** 💜

NECCO is looking for members of our community who would be willing to place a **yard sign** in their yard to help us recruit more foster parents!

You may not be in a position to become a foster parent yourself, but simply allowing us to place a sign in your yard could help connect a child in need with the loving home they deserve. ❤️

Every sign helps spread awareness. Every conversation matters. And you never know who may see that sign and feel called to open their heart and home to a child.

💜 **Would you be willing to host a NECCO Foster Parent Recruitment yard sign?**

Comment below or send us a message, and we’ll get one to you!

**It takes a community to change a child’s life. Let’s spread the word and help more children find safe, loving homes.** 🏡💜

The Impact You Don't Always See!

For those working in child welfare, it's easy to get lost in the daily challenges and wonder if you're making a difference. In this heartfelt reflection, Necco Kentucky State Director Cassie Dann shares how showing up for people in their hardest moments can leave a lasting impact, helping others feel seen, supported, and less alone. Sometimes the true impact of that work isn't visible until years later.

Supporting Therapists. Empowering Parents. Transforming Youth.

April shares the passion that first pulled her into foster care — and the purpose that keeps her here. She talks about the impact of supporting therapists through a trauma‑informed lens, helping them guide foster parents to understand the “why” behind a child’s behavior. April’s message builds to a powerful invitation: fostering can change a child’s life simply by giving them one trusted adult. Her story is a reminder that every act of support, every moment of understanding, can open the door to healing.
