Children's Permanency Partnership

💙June is Reunification Month, a time to celebrate one of the most meaningful permanency outcomes for children and families.

When children can safely return home, reunification provides the opportunity for lasting connections, stability and a renewed path forward. Achieving permanency through reunification takes dedication from parents, support from foster families and the collaboration of professionals and community partners working toward the same goal.

At Children's Permanency Partnership, we believe every child deserves the security of permanent family relationships. This month, we recognize the strength and resilience of families who have worked to reunify and the many individuals who help make those permanency journeys possible.

Join us in celebrating Reunification Month and the power of permanency, connection and belonging.

Permanency doesn’t happen in isolation. It grows through relationships, shared commitment and people coming together around what children and families truly need.

During National Foster Care Month, we highlight what is true every day of the year: lasting permanency is built through partnership. When agencies, caregivers, families and communities work in alignment, children have more pathways to stability, connection and belonging.

We thank all of our partners helping us build brighter futures for children and families. 💙 Permanency happens through partnership. Not just during National Foster Care Month, but every month!

This Memorial Day Weekend, we pause to honor the brave individuals who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is not forgotten, and their legacy continues in every moment of freedom we are able to share with the families and children in our communities.

At Children’s Permanency Partnership, this weekend also reminds us of something deeply rooted in our mission: the importance of stability, connection and safe, loving homes. As we reflect, we also hold close the children and families we serve and the work being done every day to support lasting permanency.

We hope this weekend offers space for gratitude, reflection and time with the people who matter most. However you spend it, may it be filled with care, meaning and moments of peace.

🌿 Happy Mother’s Day to All Moms and Caregivers!🩵

During (and every day!), we recognize the love, patience and strength that mothers and caregivers bring to children’s lives. Children’s Permanency Partnership is honored to walk alongside moms, dads, birth families and foster families — working together to build brighter futures for kids and teens in our communities.

This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating every kind of mom — birth moms, foster moms, adoptive moms, kinship caregivers — and all the nurturing hearts that help children grow and feel safe.

To every mom and caregiver: thank you for the difference you make, today and every day. 🩵
