Presently there are 36 licensed foster families in Clinton County. Melissa Lynch with Clinton County Job and Family Services (JFS) – Child Protection Unit said, “My unit works to support those foster families, and each day we are completely humbled by some of the things they have to experience through overnight calls and really experiencing the traumas that these kids go through with their birth families.” Clinton County JFS Deputy Director Gina Speaks-Eschler said locally there is a call for more foster homes, which she called “so important and incredibly needed.” The commissioners legislation to recognize May as Foster Care Recognition Month states that “foster families are a fundamental part of providing nurturing and support to children and families who need time to heal and put their lives back together.” From left in the front row are Clinton County Commissioner Brenda K.
