Adoption!

Congrats! This Angels family finalized their adoption today of their little guy. Here they are with the Judge in Santa Maria court. 

More Twinsies

The last two adoptions in South County have been for twins! We have so much fun watching these little ones grow and thrive in their homes. Congrats to this beautiful family who celebrated the adoption of twin siblings, boy & girl, last week. 

Happy Adoption Day!

In March, we had the joy of celebrating the adoption with this wonderful South County family. After fostering them for about a year,  they adopted these adorable twin boys. This was their second adoption through Angels, their daughter (also pictured) was also part of the Angels program.

Dressed and Ready for a Good Cause!

Holiday Homecoming Celebration 2011

In 2011, Angels Foster Care reached a milestone of placing 100 infants/toddlers in Santa Barbara County! We have since surpassed that and are now at 102 placements.

We are very excited to be growing and continuing to provide loving and stable homes for children. However, we still need more homes!! In 2011, our organization had to turn down 43 children for placement as we did not have enough open homes. A significant portion of these children were part of sibling groups, with two or three children, all under the age of 5.

This year we were able to host a wonderful celebration over the Holidays. Thanks to an anonymous generous donor, Angels families, supporters, staff, and volunteers were able to enjoy a fabulous evening out. The event took place on December 15, 2011 at the Bacara Resort & Spa.

TWILIGHT: Breaking Dawn Event

On November 17, 2011 Angels Foster Care hosted an advance screening event for the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn film. Proceeds benefited our program and funds will go towards salaries for our social workers, new foster parent recruitment, outreach, and other administrative costs. Fundraising is a crucial component of our program as we do not take any federal funding. All of our operating costs are raised through donations (big and small- everything counts!) and grant writing. Click Here to make a donation. 

The Twilight fans were eager and ready, lining up outside the Arlington Theater hours before the doors were open.

VIP events began at 6:30, with guests being welcomed into a wedding themed reception. There they were able to enjoy yummy drinks and treats and even take a photo with the groom to be- Edward! (Not the real  Edward of course, but his cardboard cut out was just as handsome).

Many thanks to our Fundraising Committee who put a lot of hard work into making this event happen, and setting up a fabulous reception.

The event brought a great turn out and was a lot of fun! Thanks to everyone who came out to support Angels Foster Care- we look forward to seeing you again in 2012 for the FINAL film of the Twilight  Saga.
