CARDUCCI FAMILY<br />

FOSTER CARE AND ADOPTION<br />

We’d rather help a child or children<br />

who are already out there looking for a family.<br />

Natalie, Adoptive Mom<br />

Around<br />

1,100<br />

children are in foster care in<br />

Hampton Roads, and 307 are<br />

waiting to be adopted.*<br />

*Virginia Department of Social Services, 2015<br />

We believe that every child<br />

deserves a safe and loving<br />

home. Natalie and her husband<br />

opened their hearts and home to<br />

two sibling boys. Now, 6-year old<br />

Dawson and his brother, 2-year<br />

old Liam, share Natalie’s last<br />

name and are thriving under the<br />

love of the Carduccis.<br />

Because of your support,<br />

111<br />

foster children have found a<br />

safe, loving foster home. 44 were<br />

placed this year. 8 children found<br />

forever families through adoption.<br />

And, 34 children were reunited<br />

with their biological families.<br />

Liam, Dawson and Natalie
