since 1899
Fuller, Richer Lives
Our Mission
What We Do
Our mission is to preserve,
protect, and when needed,
provide families. Motivated by
compassion and in partnership
with the community, we make
positive lasting differences in
the lives of those we serve. We

services to children and their
families that advance social,
educational and emotional
development and well-being.

New Jersey’s leading nonprofit providers of human
services and child welfare programs. We help children
who don’t have families able to care for them, and we
support children, young adults, the elderly and their
families through the everyday challenges and transitions
in life. Since 1899, we’ve been helping the most
vulnerable people in our community improve their lives.
Our services include:
n A full range of adoption and foster care services for
infants, children and teenagers with special needs.
n Case management, specialized clinical services,
educational, medical and behavioral support for
vulnerable children, teens, frail elderly and their
families.
n Support services and community homes for children
and young adults with developmental disabilities.

education programs about substance abuse, and
advocacy for responsive prevention and treatment
services.

The Year in Review by the President and Board Chair
Thanks to you, our donors and
volunteers, our children are having
much better todays than yesterdays. And they now look forward to
brighter tomorrows. Because of
you, their lives have improved on so
many levels: physically, academically, emotionally and socially. You
will read in these pages the stories
of some of those we serve and, how
together, we are helping them to
live richer, fuller lives.
It is because of your generosity
that Children’s Aid and Family
Services has been able to evolve
throughout our long history to continually offer the quality and intensity of services that the children and
families we serve absolutely need.

In 2011, we began offering in-home support services to children with developmental disabilities.
This has been a natural extension of our work with children and families and has helped fill a great
need in the northern New Jersey area. In 2012, we further expanded our services for children
with developmental disabilities by opening two community homes in Bergen County. This has
allowed children with severe special needs in our area to stay close to their families, who can visit
often and be involved in their children’s lives.
We are committed to helping these children and teenagers, and have recently opened a
third community home in Park Ridge. To meet the tremendous need in the communities we serve,
our goal is to open two additional community homes per year for the next five years.
We also remain deeply committed to helping our children in foster care live fuller, richer lives.
Our Medical Services & Advocacy Center, the first of its kind in New Jersey, was expanded this
year to offer direct care to our children. Many of the children come to us with little or no medical
records and, because of their histories of severe abuse, are understandably anxious when going to
health care providers. Our medical staff has had great success in forming trusting relationships
with the children. They have also been piecing together the children’s medical histories, reversing
incorrect diagnoses, identifying previously overlooked conditions and helping the children establish
healthy habits early in life.
A quality education for our children remains a top
priority, as we believe education is the cornerstone of
their success. Many of our children come to us two or
more grade levels behind in school. We engage an
education specialist who ensures they receive the
appropriate services at school and oversees our tutoring program. Because of your generosity, we are one
of the few agencies that offer professional tutoring

services and scholarship assistance to the children in our
care. We’re seeing remarkable results from this vitally important
investment in their futures.
A critical time for teenagers in foster care is their 18th birthday, when they “age out” of care, usually without family support. This can be a frightening and lonely time for our teens. In
addition to the support of our youth services staff, we recently
began offering affordable housing (in partnership with a developer) for former foster children, teens and young adults who
have left foster care to live independently. Five beautiful, new
apartments are located in Morris County, and their occupants
are provided with case management support by our staff. We
are thrilled to provide this opportunity to help our teens successfully achieve independence and self-sufficiency.

As many of you know, a great number of our children have been born drug-involved or
have been the victims of a substance-abusing adult. That is why our commitment to substance
abuse prevention is so strong. Our Center for Alcohol and Drug Resources continues to make
a real difference in raising awareness and providing evidence-based prevention programs that
help children, teenagers and families to make safe, smart and healthy decisions. Last year,
the Center helped 11,750 people in Bergen County.
Early childhood education remains a strong
commitment. We are proud that we provided
scholarships to approximately half of the families
whose children attend Turrell Child Care & Early
Learning Center. We are one of the few child care
centers in the area that provides this kind of help to
low-income families, who are in tremendous need
of safe, reliable, and affordable child care and early
education for their children.
We’re delighted to tell you that since
2009, 100% of high school seniors
have graduated while in our care. The
national average for children in foster
care is about 50%.
We are excited about the continued growth of our services and the impact we’re having
on the lives of some of the most vulnerable children, young adults and families in our
community. We couldn’t do it without you. Thank you for your support.

2012 Memorable Moments
Baby Basics is made possible thanks to the
support of our many dedicated volunteers, such as the
adorable children from Archer Cooperative Nursery School
pictured here. They collected diapers to help low-income
families served by our Baby Basics program.
To serve even more families, we have expanded the Baby
Basics program’s distribution centers to include Garfield, an
extremely high-need area, as well as Carlstadt, Hackensack,
Paramus, and Ridgewood. In 2012, we provided more than
200,000 diapers to low-income families.
In 2012, we further expanded our
services to children and teenagers
with developmental disabilities by
opening two community homes, where
nurturing, round the clock care is provided. The
children learn life skills, such as proper hygiene,
laundry, cooking and cleaning up after a meal.
There is a tremendous need for homes in northern New Jersey. They allow parents to remain
close to their children with special needs and to be active in their lives. The homes are
warm and inviting and include sensory rooms, where the children can engage and explore
their senses. Here is Eli in one of the sensory rooms.
Our Medical Services & Advocacy Center staff began providing direct
care to our children in foster care in 2012. This has been a huge boost in
helping us provide the best possible care to our children. Our staff is diagnosing previously unknown medical conditions, piecing together medical histories from little or no
records, coordinating care with other providers, and most
important, forming trusting relationships with the children.
Our program for medically needy infants and
toddlers continues to provide outstanding care to babies
whose birth parents are unable to care for them. Since its inception 27 years ago, it has one of the highest rates of successful
adoptions and family reunifications in the country. Here is Eli,
who was fostered and eventually adopted by the Hinchen family.
The Woodlea group home transitioned to our third Path
to Permanency home for girls ages 5 – 12. There are eight girls
living in the home, who are receiving the therapeutic support
and nurturing care they need to help overcome past trauma.

Poised for success
Just a few years ago, Carlotta was in foster care. Today, with the support of
Children’s Aid and Family Services, she has recently graduated from a university
with a bachelor’s degree in business management. She plans on attending graduate
school to earn her M.B.A. after she gains more management experience in the
food services field. “Carlotta has always worked hard,” says her foster mother, Pat.
She is determined to succeed and wants to own a restaurant franchise eventually.
When she was 13, Carlotta came to one of our therapeutic group homes. She
quickly became involved in the community and wanted to give back. She
attended a local high school and joined the Interact Club. Carlotta worked on
food drives to help low-income families. “I really enjoy volunteering,” Carlotta
says. “I made friends and felt good about helping people.”
Three teenagers
graduated with
bachelor’s degrees.
One young woman
is going to graduate
school.
Children’s Aid and Family Services matched Carlotta with a
volunteer mentor when she was 15. “I love Bernice,” says
Carlotta. “Our relationship is special to me. I know I can always
count on her.” Bernice is one of Carlotta’s proudest supporters,
and was cheering her on during her commencement ceremony.
At 16, Carlotta went to live with Pat and Ricardo, one of our
foster families. During college, she spent school breaks and
holidays with them and is back living with them since graduating. “I like living with Pat and Ricardo and their son,” she says.
“They’ve been great and have told me I can stay as long as I
need to.”
“Children’s Aid and Family Services is a good agency,” says
Carlotta. “The staff is caring and they work hard to help the
children. I’m very grateful for all of the help I’ve gotten from
the agency.”
Our Thomas R.S. Burgin Parents Fund
helps teenagers who “age out” of foster
care by providing scholarships for
school expenses, and emergency funding for any former client of one of our
foster care programs. In 2012, there
were 15 recipients of scholarship
funding. It is also one of the sources of
philanthropic funding for our tutoring
program for children in foster care.

Celebrating Strong Families
The Strengthening Families Program, facilitated by
The Center for Alcohol and Drug Resources, is a
14-week program that helps parents learn more effective
parenting skills and enhances communication within
families. Research indicates that compared to teens who
have five to seven family dinners per week, those who
have fewer than three family dinners per week are twice
as likely to say they expect to try drugs (The Importance
of Family Dinners VIII A CASA Columbia White Paper).
One of the key messages of this program is family is
important—spend time with them.
Gladys is a single working mother with four children,
ages 11 years to 10 months. Between working full time,
maintaining her home and caring for her family, she was
feeling overwhelmed and becoming more impatient with
her children. “I loved the program,” she says. “I learned

assess a situation that could become tense, change the
tone of my voice toward my children to get them to listen and
how to keep calm and cool. It’s all about positive parenting.”
Families are encouraged to gather weekly for a family meeting,
where they talk about their feelings, problems and concerns.
“I talk to my mom now more than I ever have,” says Elijah,
who is 12 years old and attended Strengthening Families with
his mother, Takiyah. A single mother, Takiyah was feeling overwhelmed and frustrated after working and attending school
full-time, and felt that she and Elijah weren’t communicating well.
“The program gave me a lot of helpful ideas to be a better parent,” says Takiyah “If Elijah does something wrong and it’s small,
I let it go. If he does something right, I praise him.”
Martha joined the program after her daughter, Britney, was
bullied. “I learned my weaknesses and strengths as a parent and
ways to help me be a better parent,” she says. “Britney and I
began having dinner together regularly and we talk more. We’re
closer than glue now.”

Blossoming
There’s a birthday party for one of the teenagers living in our community
home for children with developmental disabilities. Peter, who is 18 years
old and autistic, asks one of the guests, “Do you want some more juice
or another cookie?” In the year that he’s lived in the home, Peter has
become the life of the party, enjoying his role as “host” and making sure
all the guests have enough to eat and drink.
In 2012, Children’s Aid and
Family Services opened
two community homes for
children with developmental
disabilities. Nurturing care is
provided 24 hours a day.
When Peter first moved into the home, he was largely non-verbal. He
didn’t go out much because he had challenging behaviors which were
triggered by loud noises. He kept to himself and wouldn’t eat at the
same table with the other boys.
With the consistent, firm yet loving guidance of our staff, Peter has
made tremendous strides socially. He greets staff members by name
and will tell them he likes “hanging
out with them.” He goes to the
grocery store, to restaurants with
his parents and to the town library
where he’s become an avid member. He bowls, does arts and crafts
at the recreation center in town and
participates in special activities
such as swimming and therapeutic
horseback riding lessons. At first,
he didn’t listen well to his swimming or riding instructors; but now
he listens, follows directions and
communicates his needs. He loves
“his” horse, Big Rascal, and proudly
tells the staff that he is an expert equestrian.
These lessons, funded by philanthropy, help to increase Peter’s
muscle tone, balance, hand/eye coordination and fine motor skills, as
well as gain a sense of self-control and self-confidence.
Peter has become much friendlier with the other boys. He eats meals
with them, and even helps them enhance their cuisine by suggesting
they put butter on their waffles or ketchup on their French fries. “Peter
is very lovable and smart,” says Donna Kennedy, Senior Vice President,
Community Services. “We have high expectations for Peter and we are
thrilled that he’s exceeded them. He’s blossomed in so many ways.”
Thanks to your generosity, we can provide therapeutic
activities such as water and equine therapy to help the
children lead richer, fuller lives.

“We knew Peter had it in him,”
says his mother, Wendy. “It just
took the right group of people to
find out what motivates him.
We are so thankful for Children’s
Aid and Family Services.”

Hope and Healing
We opened our Medical Services & Advocacy
Center two years ago to better meet the increasingly complex medical needs of our children in
foster care. Many of our children have been in six
to ten placements before coming into our care.
They usually have little or no medical records,
medical conditions that have been undiagnosed or
misdiagnosed, and they have rarely been to the
same doctor with any kind of consistency.

receive the best possible care. They are piecing
together the children’s health histories, coordinating their care
with medical providers and building trusting relationships with
the children, who are often terribly frightened to visit a doctor.
For example, two girls came into our care and both had obvious
skin conditions which had been overlooked by other caregivers.
Our medical staff examined them. One of the girls was scared to
speak, but our medical team was gentle with her, and patiently
coaxed her to tell them how she was feeling. She finally told
them she had a sore throat. After examining her further, the
team diagnosed her with strep throat, which
can lead to serious complications if left
untreated. They also arranged for both
girls to see a dermatologist to get proper

diagnoses that could negatively affect their
adoptability, as in Ryan’s* case. He had
been diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis,
or “Elephant Man’s” disease, before coming into our care. Because this was in
Ryan’s case history, it severely diminished his chances for
adoption. Most prospective parents would not want to even
meet a child with this condition. Upon examination, the medical
staff seriously doubted this diagnosis and they arranged for him
to see a neurologist. An exam revealed that Ryan did not have
the condition and he was perfectly healthy. His chances for
finding a loving family have greatly increased.

In 2012, this program was one of
just eight awardees of a Federal
Healthy Tomorrow’s Partnership for
Children grant that will run for five
years. Aside from this, the Center is
supported entirely by philanthropy.

Finding loving families for our children
Growing up in a large family, Pamella always wanted to be a
mother. As she was approaching age 50 and didn’t have children, she started looking into adoption. A friend told her about
the children waiting to be adopted at Children’s Aid and Family
Services, and she came to an information session to learn about
the process. “I was very excited; I wanted the opportunity to
make a difference for a child,” she recalls.
At first, Pamella wanted to

Tanya stayed with Pamella for four months and then
moved back to her home state. Pamella flew to visit her,
advocate on her behalf with her home state foster care
and make sure she was well. “I love being a foster mother
and feel like I was able to provide a deep level of service
to Tanya.”
About one year later, Pamella met Sandya at one of our
parties to match children eligible for adoption with
adoptive parents. They had lunch and talked and laughed
together. “Sandya is grounded, confident, sweet and funny,”
Pamella says. “We hit it off immediately.”
Shortly after, Sandya went to live with Pamella. Her adoption
was official in November 2012. “We’ve had to work on things
together, and I’ve learned that I need to be flexible, open and
willing to let Sandya grow in her own
way,” says Pamella. “She’s brought me
