Daniella and Jose: Experience, Understanding, and More

“. . . [foster parenting] is actually the most important job they will ever do.”

Personal and professional experiences led Daniella and Jose to become foster parents. They understood the need in Connecticut, and they wanted to help. They have been Wheeler foster parents for two years.

“The Wheeler staff really cares about our family as a whole,” said Daniella. “We appreciate how they respect and value us. We have been blessed with a wonderful DCF team as well. We always feel validated and heard.”

Jose emphasized the need for patience and consistency. “A foster home cannot be a revolving door,” he said. “And it’s imperative that foster parents don’t view their role as a part-time job because it’s actually the most important job they will ever do.”

Daniella said that no matter what happens with the children and youth in their care, or whatever paths they choose, “They will always know that they are loved and able to return to a home and family.”
