The Division of Youth and Family Services in NJ is the state's Child Welfare Agency dedicated towards ensuring the wellbeing and safety of its children. Currently there are thousands of children in need of loving homes and YOU can make a difference.

Craig is a 12 year old boy who though out his childhood was a victim of child abuse and neglect. In 2004, he suffered a tragic accident and became a paraplegic. After many years in therapy, he is now ready to be discharged from rehabilitation. Unfotunately, although Craig is ready to move into a loving home, the Division has been unable to identify an adoptive family for him. This is why we need YOUR help.

If you are someone who feels that you can be that loving family for Craig please contact me at the Division. We are looking for a family who has the experience, skills, and desire to help a paraplegic child in need. We are looking for someone who wants to give Craig the opportunity to have somewhere to call home and the opportunity to love and be loved. Craig needs to know what it is like to have a normal life even though his life is not normal.

If you are interested in learning more about Craig and how you can help, please call me, Sandra Parente, at 201-996-8900 ext. 268 and I will be more than happy to assist you.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon,

Sincerely,
Sandra Parente
