Ministry Offers Critical Supplies for Foster, Kinship, Adoptive Families - Anthony Poteet

What happens when a foster family gets a phone call that three siblings need a safe place to stay immediately? What if they don’t have the supplies - like shoes, car seats, or clothing - that they need? Anthony Poteet has been through this process, and he recognized that foster care parents need a strong support system to help provide some integral items to smooth this transition. Therefore, he founded the Foster Families Assistance Network. He is the executive director of this incredible organization, which works hard to provide the items to foster families taking in kids who have been in a state of in-between, bouncing from home to home, in a chaotic world driven by the coldness of a clinical state system. Parents need to bond with these kids immediately after they arrive, not worry about getting supplies.


TAKEAWAYS

Once a child is in state custody, they are essentially being parented by the government

State child welfare workers, like CPS or DCS, can rush the process of placing a child in a home, causing chaos and trauma as a result

Foster Families Assistance Network has a resource center in Henderson, Tennessee, that provides critical items for foster families

There is a shortage of foster homes and a shortage of competent workers in the state system
