Children's Network of South Florida, LLC

Children's Network is committed to working with the community to protect children and preserve families

Introducing the Becker Family . . .

Tina and Jerry have been licensed foster parents for a year now. They began the licensing process for a specific child, and after completing their PRIDE classes, decided to open their home to all children in need. Tina and Jerry go above and beyond to make sure a child’s needs are met and their best interests are always put first. They are willing to have a mentoring relationship with biological parents and families. It is an honor to work with such a generous, caring family that truly shows their love for others and their community on a daily basis. They have been wonderful to partner alongside and represent the true mission of foster care ♥
