Title: National Reunification Month
Topic: National Reunification Month

Discussed by Dr. Sharen Ford
with Wait No More (www.WaitNoMore.org)

Dr. Sharon Ford discusses National Reunification Month, which shines a spotlight on promoting successful partnerships between birth parents, caregivers, and caseworkers to achieve child welfare's ultimate goal: the reunification of children and families.

Dr. Ford is the Program Director for Focus on the Family’s adoption and orphan care efforts.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Is there often much pain behind the heartbreaking decision to remove a child/children away from their biological parent or parents?

When a child is removed from a home, is the ultimate goal always reunification (if possible)?

Is there ever concern when reunifying a child with their biological parents? Dr. Ford explains that sometimes a slow process is better than a quick one…

Overall, do children do better with biological parents (as long as it is a safe environment)?

How can the community, the church, and individuals help both biological and foster families during the reunification process?
