As part of #nationaladoptionmonth the Commissioners and the Delaware County Department of Job and Family Services recognized the important role of foster and adoptive families who provide loving and stable environments for children in our county. Delaware County has already celebrated four adoptions this year, and 16 youth currently in the custody of the department are living in foster homes or other out-of-home settings. JFS works year-round to recruit, train and license qualified applicants to house children in similar situations. Profiles of all Ohio youth seeking adoptive families are available at the link in our bio.

We will participate in the “Green Light a Vet” initiative again this year by displaying green lights outside The Historic Courthouse from Nov. 4-11. Today in session, Joel Sodano and James Huffman from the Knights of Columbus joined us as the Commissioners signed a proclamation recognizing the challenges faced by U.S. servicemembers transitioning to civilian life. The proclamation encourages residents to join us in honoring the sacrifices of those who have served our country by displaying green lights at residences and places of business throughout Delaware County.
