Hispanic Heritage Month runs Sep 15 through Oct 15, and in California foster care this month lands especially heavy. More than half of the kids in our state’s foster system identify as Latinx or Black. Kids carrying language, faith, food, music, and family stories that don’t pause when a placement changes.
Culturally-competent placement isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s what makes a placement actually feel like home. A kid who hears Spanish at the dinner table. A quinceañera that still happens. A tamalada in December because that’s what abuela always did. Dia de los Mu***os with photos on the mantel, not questions from confused foster parents.
Kinship placement is the gold standard here. When it isn’t possible, the next best thing is a foster family that shares or actively honors the child’s culture, language, and identity.
RBL FFA recruits foster families from every background across San Bernardino and Orange County, and we match placements with culture in mind. Every single time.
If you speak Spanish. If your kitchen already smells like home. If you know what it means to hold onto where you come from, we want to talk to you.
Cultura guardada. Raíces preservadas. Hogar.
