8 giug 1988 anni - First National Foster Care Month Proclamation (Children's Bureau, 2012)

Descrizione:

In 1988, the National Foster Parent Association persuaded Senator Strom Thurmond to introduce a resolution to proclaim May as National Foster Care Month. President George H.W. Bush issued an annual proclamation during each year of his presidency, providing an impetus for State, county, and city proclamations. The focus of these early efforts was appreciation and recognition of the tremendous contributions of foster parents across the nation.
