There are roughly 120 children in the foster care system in Prince William County, but thanks to loving families, like this couple, kids are getting needed support.
PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — A couple from Prince William County has been recognized by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments as. Carly and Kristy McDowell foster a baby boy, his 2-year-old brother, and a little girl.
“To be a foster parent, you have to be able to demonstrate what our values and missions are, meaning the number one thing that all foster parents know is that we have to work with the families to reunify,” said Marcy Capers, senior human services caseworker with Prince William County Department of Social Services. “The foster parents have to be on board, and the McDowells have shown that they are definitely a big part of reunifying. They were on board with reunification right from the start.
“What’s in it for us is the ability to experience kids develop and grow and mature. We enjoy that. They’re so cute and cuddly and little,” Kristy said. “We’re trying to help them overcome the trauma they’ve experienced and trying to just flood them with love and hugs and everything to try to alleviate all the drama and trauma they’ve experienced. We’re just trying to provide them with a solid foundation that they can build from with caring with love.
Capers said volunteers are always needed. There is an especially urgent need for foster parents for older children.
