Foster, biological families get in the Christmas spirit | htrnews.com | Herald Times Reporter

Foster, biological families get in the Christmas spirit | htrnews.com | Herald Times Reporter: "MANITOWOC — Children in foster care received perhaps the most desired gift of all this holiday season: being with family.



A Christmas party was held this week for the children, their foster family and biological parents and siblings, something new to the foster care program in Manitowoc County.

'This is the first time ever that the agency has put foster parents and biological families at one party, but we want to build support around that child from everywhere,' said Georgeann Knier, foster care coordinator for Manitowoc County. 'We want the biological parents and the foster parents to be a team with the children.'"
