May is National Foster Care Month (NFCM).

The Children’s Bureau, a division of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, hosts the initiative each year to increase national awareness of foster care issues. Each May, we take time to recognize the important role that people from all parts of child welfare play in supporting children, youth, and families.

Everybody can play a role, including YOU.
