When we Fostered, we weekly did family visitations in the Bob Walton Plaza. We took the aged elevator up to a 3 chair waiting room, to then have our foster child escorted to a 9 x 9 office with a white walls, fluorescent lights, and a few toys on the ground. Though the visitations were extremely important, they lacked one thing… Dignity.
Since 2018 Foster Village Charlotte has been bringing Dignity to visitations. Their Connection Cottage located on Monroe Rd has become a regularly used spot by those affected by foster care.
There are children visiting with their family in a homelike environment, playing in the backyard playground, baking cookies or meals in the kitchen, getting sweaty in the sensory play studio…
Siblings who have been split into separate homes are brought back together for a sibling meetup with all the fun activities mentioned above.
Foster Children have a homelike environment for their birthday party, filled with presents, play, laughter, and cake.
