The Mission of Extra
Special Parents (ESP)
is to be the premier foster care provider of high quality care focused
on providing effective child welfare services, utilizing a
Professional Parent Model, that promote and preserve healthy family
relationships.
The Purpose of

allowing more concentrated and focused treatment of the child to

national origin, or sex. Children with handicapping conditions will be
accepted if their needs can be reasonably accommodated. |

the greatest
social service that can be rendered by anybody
to this country and
to mankind is to
bring up a family.
