American Dream
Adoptive Families Honored With Day of Fun
On Saturday Oct. 23, a day to honor
Meriwether's Resource Foster and Adoptive
Families, was held at Butts Mill Farm in
Pine Mountain.
The resource families, children in fos-
: ter care and those adopted, along with the
staff of Meriwether DFCS, participated in
an outing filled with a day of food and fun
on the farm.
The families enjoyed going on hayrides,
walking through the petting zoo, playing
miniature golf, and sliding down the Super
Tiger Slide.
The famih'es were commended for their
time, energy, and the love they share with
the children who are m tbe care.
The families have worked diligently in
partnership with the children's birth fami-
lies and agency to provide a safe and stable
environment for the children.
Meriwether County is in need of other
dedicated individuals like these people to
provide foster and adoptive placements for
children who cannot remain in their home
due to abuse or neglect.
To become a Resource Foster or
Adoptive Parent a person may be married
or single, but must be a mature, responsi-
ble adult with stable income and a willing-
ness to make a commitment to the children
and their families to work toward the goal
of reunification or adoption.

The weather was nice and
allowed the crowds to enjoy
the carnival-like atmosphere
- without interruption.

that was won by Robert
Standard and David Rowe in
the drawing at the end of the
