Meet some of our Hero Foster Parents

Each month, we are shining a spotling on the everyday heroes who open their homes and hearts to children in need. 

September 2025 Foster Parent of the Month

This month, we would like to recognize Raven. Raven became a foster parent with Anu in 2017. She is an extraordinary caregiver who works seamlessly with biological families, offering compassionate support that consistently goes above and beyond expectations. She has adopted two children of her own and continues to open her heart and home, thoughtfully adjusting her space to welcome large sibling groups so they can remain together. Her commitment to keeping families connected is matched only by her kindness and dedication. In recognition of her outstanding devotion, Raven received the Governor’s Award for Outstanding Adoptive Parent in 2023, an honor that reflects the tremendous impact she makes in the lives of children and families every day.

Thank you, Raven, for being such a strong advocate for children in out-of-home care.

August 2025 Foster Parent of the Month

This month, we would like to recognize Kayla. Kayla became a foster parent with Anu Family Services in January 2024 and has been such a great addition to our team. When asked what her reason to foster was, Kayla said this, "I want to provide a safe, supportive, and understanding home for children that need just that. I am hopeful to be the person who can make a difference in their lives and build strong, trusting, supportive, and nurturing relationships that they may not have had previously. Lastly, I hope to help them build tools that they can use to remain safe and to know how to keep themselves safe and healthy when they return home."

Thank you, Kayla, for being such a strong advocate for children in out-of-home care.
