Birthday celebrations are special times for our kids. Of course all children love their birthday, but many of our kids did not even know when their birthday was when they came into our care. We spent many a day reviewing the date until each child knew their birthday.
We now try to make this day special for each child. This may include a special party with the other children in their house, a special dinner out and movie with a friend or some other special celebration.
Before coming into our care and into their "new family"... most of these kids had very few happy childhood memories and most of those were clouded by the darkness of their circumstances and hurt. Now, as you can see... these children really do have Happy Happy Birthdays!
