 The Astor Home for Children

      Because Every Child Deserves a Childhood

Ever thought about being a foster parent? Ever wondered how it really works? Have you ever heard about Therapeutic Foster Care? Ever wondered who is helping our troubled foster kids and where you would go in our area to find out more information?

 I hope you got the answers to those, and other questions, when you listened to Elise Barry, Angela Trento Sommella and Joe Fitzpatrick from The Astor Home for Children. They were very informative in sharing with us what Therapuetic Foster Care is and how it may work for anyone who has thought about becoming a foster parent. These children in need are emotionally challenged and need patient, loving families to be a part of.  It may be a bit more difficult at first to work with and understand these kids, but with time you will know that the rewards are most definitely worth it. 

If you are thinking about becoming a foster parent and have the heart and home to share with a child in need, I urge you to call Astor and talk to Angela here in Orange County at 845-344-3166 or 845-452-6293 in Poughkeepsie. They assist you every step of the way and will be there before, during and after the process of becoming a foster parent. It is a very individualized process as they want to make sure that the matches they make are right for both the child and the foster parent; one that both will benefit from.  

Give them a call and they will kindly answer all your questions.  Or go to their website www.astorservices.org and take a look at what they services they have to offer -
