Three brothers are growing up together in a wonderful home in our community. While that may not sound remarkable, it is when you consider the three brothers could have been separated in the foster care system. Thankfully, Kenny and Beronica Newkirk opened their hearts and their home to the three siblings to make sure they could stay together. But for youth who have to experience the unimaginable removal from their parents, sibling relationships are often disrupted. The separation can have an impact that can last a lifetime.??
This month, the Newkirks are being recognized as one of the agency's Arc Angels. Kenny and Beronica Newkirk became certified as foster parents in October 2022. The couple's mission was to create a big family and to maintain sibling relationships. The Newkirks accomplished both when they accepted the placement of three brothers. Since then, the family has bonded. They like to spend time roller skating and going to the beach. The Newkirks even brought the boys to Disney to see Mickey!??
