A DAY AT GCAC of Georgia: One of our darling foster boys, a local kindergartner, stopped by for a visit. He walked into the GCAC Office and declared "I have an announcement! One day I'm going to be the President. GCAC, will you vote for me? I'm going to be a President like George Washington. I want to serve 3 terms!" He handed out sticky notes for everyone to vote! As we cheered him on then, we will cheer him on forever! Here's to our future leaders!

Learning goes further when focusing on the whole child! Children use actions to express feelings, so play and exercise can bring healing to children who may be locking emotions inside. The release of tension, and increase of Endorphin will greatly help children, and certainly ones dealing with trauma, be able to refocus their minds on the learning at hand.

Fostering is: a journey, a blessing, a challenge, a mission. Trusting in God's plan is crucial. As a foster parent, you have followed His calling for this time in your life. You are making an amazing difference in the life of your foster child. Your courage, patience, understanding and passion are a blessing in the life of each child you help. Every life has seasons. During their season in Foster Care, you are their greatest gift!

Become a foster parent with GCAC of Georgia, and give a child a chance for GREATNESS!

Ron Biles said, “It gives you the opportunity to enrich the life of yourself and the child, and enrich everyone who is involved in your life. Raising kids is just a wonderful thing. You get to see them grow and be a part of that and I can’t think of anything more satisfying. It is an important issue and I could only say good things about it.”
