Much like Michelangelo, who saw the hidden figure within a block of marble and meticulously chiseled away the excess to reveal stunning sculptures, foster parents possess the incredible ability to see the potential in every teen they care for. Michelangelo famously said, “Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.” Similarly, foster parents see beyond the surface and see the ‘diamond in the rough’ when it comes to teens in the system. Just as Michelangelo worked tirelessly to uncover the beauty hidden within marble, foster parents invest time, patience, and love to help teens flourish. With the right support and guidance, these teens can transform into vibrant, successful individuals. As recruiters, our role is to help potential foster parents see this potential. By showcasing the transformative power of foster care and providing the necessary support, we empower them to become the sculptors of futures, unveiling the beauty and potential within every teen. As recruiters, lets commit to honor the work of foster parents and guide them in their vital role of making a lasting impact. #FamilyRecruitment #FosterCare #FosterFamilyRecruitment
