🔦 𝙎𝙋𝙊𝙏𝙇𝙄𝙂𝙃𝙏: 𝘾𝙖𝙡𝙫𝙞𝙣 𝘿𝙮𝙨𝙤𝙣 🔦 Congratulations to Calvin Dyson! He’s been recognized as the 2024 𝘍𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘧𝘢𝘹 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘺 𝘍𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘠𝘦𝘢𝘳by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments.Calvin's desire to make the world a better place led him down the path to adopting two sons and fostering additional children. Although he was not a fluent Spanish speaker when he began his adoption journey, Calvin immersed himself in learning all that he could about his adoptive son’s country of origin and native language. Calvin learned that by using physical gestures and Google Translate they could communicate without knowing the same language.These skills greatly helped Calvin and his son when they became a foster family for a young boy who had recently arrived in this country speaking very little English and no Spanish. Calvin is focused on making each child feel comfortable in his home by honoring their language and culture. Calvin took the boys to grocery stores that carried familiar foods from their home countries. In addition, Calvin has worked tirelessly with school personnel, social workers, therapists, and medical professionals to help his foster children. When Calvin receives calls about children in need of foster placement, he believes the children are not the sum of their behaviors and histories on file. He believes that with the right support, any youth can be successful. 🙏🏼 Thank you, Calvin, for opening your heart and home, and making a difference in this world.Today, over 200 #FairfaxCounty children are in foster care. The Department of Family Services' Foster Care and Adoption Program offers temporary foster homes for these children and services to help their families.Start your journey to becoming a #fosterparent at https://bit.ly/FCA-FFH or for more information visit http://bit.ly/DFS-FCA, or email BeAFosterParent@fairfaxcounty.gov.Learn more about DFS - https://lnkd.in/eRBbAXg - and join #TeamFairfax in building stronger families 🤝🏼https://lnkd.in/eb48q9g#FairfaxCountyGovernment #EngageGrowInspire #ComeMakeADifference #FosterCareMonth #FairfaxCountyFamilyServices
