From Angels Foster Parents

"Fostering a child has been the most rewarding and most painful thing we have ever done and it changes you. I personally never would have seen myself doing this two years ago, but now having been exposed to these children, the system and how Angels is trying to make it work better we can’t see ourselves not. You have to experience it to fully understand and how fundamentally different the Angels approach is."
- S.R. & G.B., Santa Barbara

"When I look at the sweet little girl entrusted to us, I often think about how different our lives would have been if we had not had the chance for our lives to become entwined. What I do know for certain is that we have been able to survive this confusing and emotional process because of the support from Angels. Fostering is not for sissies. But the best part of the whole process is in knowing that we are giving a precious child a stable and loving environment in which to grow, while Angels takes care of the legal details, keeps us informed, and offers moral support and encouragement when times are tough."
- P.B., Lompoc

"When we started thinking about becoming foster parents we were nervous about the children, their backgrounds and all of the legal requirements. Fortunately, the wonderful staff at Angels helped us to understand the process right away. They put our unfounded fears at ease. Most importantly, they helped us focus on what truly matters: helping young children find love in difficult circumstances."
- R.F. & S.F., Santa Barbara

"Had our foster daughter been placed in a traditional foster setting, it is unlikely that she would have received the attention she needed to heal. The Angels model is set up to support both the foster child and family that bring her into their hearts. I believe that she is now a thriving, happy baby because she knew that a mom and a dad and a brother were finally there to love her. Angels of Santa Barbara made that happen."
- J.S., Goleta

"Angels Foster Care of SB makes the county foster program a success. Meichelle, Jennifer and Stacy love these children like they are their own! They care what happens to them. They know their names. They know our family and they are always there for us. They are willing to take as much time as needed to answer questions (no matter how many times you ask!) Being a foster parent is tough but Angels make the process so much easier."
- B.B., Carpinteria

"I became an Angels Foster Care mom three and half years ago. My daughters and I do shelter and respite and have cared for nearly a dozen babies. My biggest fear when I first became involved with Angels was that after caring we would become emotionally attached and not be able to let the baby go back to either their biological parents or into permanent adoption. But after a family meeting, we decided it was worth the risk to do whatever we can to help these babies who need our love. Having these babies in our home has been the greatest gift. It is truly in giving that we receive."
-M. C., Montecito

"As a respite care provider and volunteer for Angels Foster Care, I have had opportunities to see sick or mistreated babies flourish under the care of loving foster families. It is remarkable to witness a baby’s life transformed from one of jeopardy to stability and love. The families in this program are like no others I have ever encountered. Knowing the potential heartbreak the foster families put themselves at risk for elevates my respect for them. On the other hand, the reward for enduring such risk is like no other: the pride and love a parent feels for the child they raise is unparalleled."
-F.M., Santa Barbara

"Our foster daughter was eventually returned to her biological mother and we miss her, but we know ‘no news is good news’ and we have many happy memories of the time she spent with us. We are sustained by the knowledge that the gift we gave her through the mentorship of Angels is beyond any other. We helped her through the most difficult time in her life by giving her love, stability and the security of one home. We fulfilled the Angels mission for her and all our lives were enriched."
- C.D., Solvang

"Angels Foster Care provides us with the "behind the scenes" care that allows foster parents to truly concentrate on the kids we have in our homes. They handle the paperwork, the court dates, the "system" and all it entails…this allows parents to really be there for their foster children. We have had many surprises along the way, but none more than the extraordinary love we received on a daily basis from our two Angels babies."
- J.S. & E.S., Goleta

"Our beautiful daughter came to us at the age of six weeks after bring in a shelter for three weeks. She was a very solemn, sad little angel that had not been given a great start in life. It was obvious from the beginning she had not been given a lot of attention, but that immediately began to change. We quickly bonded and she began to blossom. We are the only family she has ever known and because of Angels Foster Care, she was able to stay in one home. She has no attachment disorders or delays, and in fact, is perfect!"
- C.P., Goleta

"We were certified at noon last summer and that same day at 3pm we got a call for a baby. This infant came to us afraid of everything and extremely anxious. After being with us almost a year, baby is a happy, trusting, thriving toddler who loves raspberries on the tummy, tons of kisses and big giggles at all of the new discoveries in life. Our Angels baby makes us feel very blessed. What a gift!"
- S & B, Santa Barbara
