In the foster care world, there is huge value in maintaining biological relationships. We all have an innate desire to know where we’ve come from and who we are connected to. That’s one reason why we place such an emphasis on keeping sibling groups together.
Two of our families in Moberly have created an amazing family dynamic because they realized the value of biological relationships. Amy and Daniel Linss have adopted two children out of foster care, and they have established a relationship with another foster and adoptive parent, Savannah Jennings, who adopted their children’s half brother.
They initially connected because Amy wanted to take Easter family photos with all three siblings.
“When we think about foster care, there’s a level of trauma that occurs from just being placed into foster care,” Amy shared. “So when you think about that, what can you keep as normal as possible in a child’s life? It’s very important to us to build up those sibling relationships so they can feel like they have a different kind of support throughout their lives. I think it is really vital to their success as they get older and as adults.”
