Parent Support

Dear Resource Parents,

My staff and I THANK YOU for all you do for the State of Tennessee and our foster children!

Besides being the caregivers, chauffeurs, cooks, doctors, nurses, therapists, laundresses, we know there are many thankless jobs that you do. We know how faithfully you attempt to follow policy and how you agonize over a child who fails. We know that most of you come to the Department of Children's Services with a real love of children and want to make a difference in their lives. We celebrate your successes with you. But everyday you encounter issues that we never know about so we trust you to recognize and reward yourself for a job well done!

You make our jobs meaningful. You are the machine that works in rain, snow, and on dreary days. You provide avenues for children to succeed and you celebrate their successes with them! You made 2007 a great year and we know that we can expect the same from you for 2008!

Thank you for all you do and all you give of yourselves. You are the CHAMPIONS and we bow to you!

Julie Flannery, Director of Foster Care and Adoptions
