SUMMARY: The need for foster parents in Mississippi is rising, with about 4,000 children in state custody, some living in hotels or residential facilities. Londa Glass of Southern Christian Services for Children and Youth, a nonprofit established in 1988, discusses this issue. The organization provides foster-to-adopt services for therapeutic children and needs more foster parents. To become a foster parent, prospective candidates undergo a pre-screening, background checks, PATH training, and a home study. The organization also offers support groups and services to assist foster parents. For more information, contact their Tupelo office at 662-689-1991 or Wanda Jones at 662-231-1969.
