In 1990 Janine Burrows-Alberda started a round robin letter with her fellow graduates of a foster parent training class with the hopes that they could support each other in times of need. This letter evolved into the Foster Adoption Resource Project and eventually into Hearts and Homes Family Resource Network, Inc. Over the years, our programs have emerged to meet the needs identified by foster parents, birth parents, social workers, and the justice system. We work closely with Guardian ad Litems and social workers in order to equip foster parents and birth parents to better support the children in their care. We believe that better care for our community’s children will lead to a better community for us all by reducing crime, drug abuse, and the cycle of domestic violence.
