•GEORGIA AGAPE When Noah loaded the ark, the animals came two by two. The State of Georgia is asking Georgia AGAPE to provide shelter similarly by placing sibling groups together in foster homes. It is suggested that children who come into foster care adjust better when they can remain with siblings. AGAPE will be conducting 3 weekends of training classes shortly after school starts to prepare families who can help by foster parenting sibling groups. Please call Jayne Osburn at 770-452-9995 before September 1 for more information on this training.
