Governor Fallin PSA

May is Foster Care Awareness Month

 

More than 8,000 Oklahoma children and youth are in foster care. Many of them have been abused and neglected. They represent every race, ethnicity, culture and age group. No matter who you are or how much time you have, you can “change a child’s lifetime.” To find out how you can become a foster parent, call 1-800-376-9729 or visit okbridgefamilies.com.
