FaithBridge Makes the Grade
FaithBridge Foster Care holds itself to the
highest level in being best-in-class for providing
the finest possible care for our communities' foster
children. This includes acquiring and maintaining an excellent
staff that is professional, pastoral and relational at every
level of service.
In December we received our FY 2013
Performance-Based Placement Measures Report Card from the Office of
Provider Management, for the first quarter of this fiscal year
(July-September, 2012). FaithBridge is pleased to report
that our overall 1st Quarter Score was 96.84%
(A).
After a three year trial
period, on July 1, 2012 our agency became fully
responsible and accountable to the State on the established
Performance-Based Placement Measures (the Blue Book and GA Score
requirements). The grade we receive, based on our performance is
publicized and local DFCS offices are encouraged to only refer
to high performing agencies.
Our performance and
outcomes reinforce our passion towards making a
difference in the lives of children and families, as also evidenced
by our results just over the last year and since our inception
in June 2006.
2012
In 2012 FaithBridge Foster Care approved 23 new
foster families and 12 respite families allowing us
to further provide Christian care for 81 new placements in
addition to the 78 children we currently had in care
on January 1, 2012. We also delighted in the positive
outcomes of reunifying 58 children with their birth parents
and 17 children with a relative placement.

As we continue to grow and explore other

children in their care and the many children who are
greatly in need of a loving, Christian family. You can
help give the gift of family by sponsoring a foster
child for $1 a day or $30 a month. Prayerfully
consider how God is calling you give this new year.
