Foster Parents Honored by the State
November 12, 2021
Child Focus has been providing life-changing foster care and adoption services for children, birth parents and foster/adoptive parents for over 30 years. This fall, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services awarded Child Focus foster parents, Tony and Rena Craver, the 2021 Family of the Year Award. Tony and Rena have been licensed foster and adoptive parents with Child Focus for 17 years and have provided a safe and loving home for 26 children ages birth to 21 including pregnant and parenting teens. Presently, Rena works with the foster care team providing training to in-coming caregivers who wish to become licensed foster and/or adoptive parents. We are grateful for Tony and Rena and their dedication to children and families.
