OUR VALUES
Values
The best interests of each individual child will direct all decisions and the safety and well-being the child will be paramount.
Children who have been abandoned and/or have had parental rights terminated according to international standards shall remain no longer than (6) six months in an institutional setting.Â
The child is best served in a permanent family and not in an institution or long-term foster care.
A family member is given first priority to receive his or her relative into their home permanently. Â However, if a relative is neither capable nor qualified to accept the child, then a non-related family will be sought to achieve a permanent solution.
Unless determined that it is not in the child(ren's) best interest, sibling groups should always stay together.
