June gives us two powerful reasons to pause and reflect. Father’s Day reminds us of the irreplaceable role caregivers play in shaping young lives. National Reunification Month honors the families working hard to safely bring their children home — and the professionals and foster parents who walk beside them during that journey.
At Child Saving Institute (CSI), we believe every child deserves stability, love and the chance to grow up in a safe home — whether that’s with their birth family or with a foster family stepping in during a time of crisis. And sometimes, it’s both.
Foster parents make reunification possible.
Reunification isn’t just a policy goal. It’s a hope — and often, a child’s deepest one. For children who’ve experienced trauma, safety and consistency aren’t abstract concepts — they’re lifelines.
When a child enters foster care, the goal is almost always reunification. But that path is only possible when families have time to heal, access to support, and space to grow — and when foster parents are there to care for children with patience and compassion in the meantime.
We hear it often: “I don’t know if I could foster. I’d get too attached.” But here’s the truth — attachment is the point. Children need adults who will show up fully. Who will advocate fiercely. Who will care without condition, even if the care is temporary.
Foster parents are more than temporary caregivers — they’re part of a child’s story, part of a family’s healing, and part of what reunification looks like in action.
This June, consider stepping in.
Whether it’s inspired by the fathers who’ve changed our lives, or the families fighting hard to be together again, June calls us to reflect on the power of caregiving — and the role we can play.
If you’ve ever considered becoming a foster parent, now is the perfect time to learn more. We invite you to join us for a free orientation session, where you’ll hear directly from our team and explore what fostering could look like for you.
Because every child deserves someone in their corner.
