as physical or emotional
abuse, neglect or drug or al
cohol use.
“We’re always looking to
recruit,” she said. “We’re al
ways looking for foster par
ents.”
Morton said that the
county currently has about
20 active foster homes that
host children of different
ages and genders for a variety
of time periods, depending
on each case. The number of
foster homes has been de
creasing, she added, as more
foster children are adopted
into their host families. This
leads foster parents to close
their homes to fostering due
to space constraints.
Both Robinson and Mor
ton said foster homes for
teenagers are especially
needed, as teens are more
difficult to place due to po
tential emotional issues.
Many teenagers come from
homes with little to no struc
ture or discipline, they said,
which can be difficult for the
parents and the child.
Foster parents are required
to go through an initial 23-
hour training and maintain
their status as foster parents
by achieving 15 hours of
training per year per parent.
Other requirements are
background, criminal and
child protective services
checks, home evaluations and
orientation.
Jodi Logan decided to be
come a foster parent after a
young relative came to stay
with her for about a week.
During the visit, several fam
ily issues came to light.
Those issues motivated dia
logue with Morton about
how to help the child and
To know that you're a
shelter in a storm in
their lives is so
rewarding.
— Jodi Logan
foster parent
eventually inspired Logan to
begin fostering kids younger
than 5 years.
“I just love little children,”
she said. “The world is amaz
ing to them. The time that’s
spent with them is amazing.”
Since her start as a foster
parent, Logan has cared for
24 children. The length of
their stay varies — some are
with her for less than a week;
others stay more than a year.
Of those 24 children, she
estimates that half were re
turned to their homes upon a
parent’s completion of a case
plan and the other half were
adopted by other families.
Previously, foster parents
had little to no contact with
the biological parents or rel
atives of the children they
were hosting. Now, Morton
and Robinson said that rela
tionships between the fami
lies is not only allowed, but
encouraged.
While there are exceptions
to this, such as cases where
the parent cannot contact his
or her child for safety rea
sons, the biological parents
and families may attend med
ical appointments, school
functions and church events
with their children and foster
family.
“Mainly we just go with
the situation,” Robinson said.
Logan said she still stays in
contact with the children she
fostered who were eventually
adopted, as well as their fam
ilies. Some of the children
even come to stay with her
on weekends or during fam
ily vacations.
Logan said her fostering
experience is the most re
warding thing she has ever
done besides raising her own
children and would recom
mend and encourage it to
anyone who may be consid
ering it.
“The children need a safe
place to go,” she said, espe
cially to prevent crowding of
existing foster homes. “To
know that you’re a shelter in
a storm in their lives is so re
warding. You won’t find any
thing else more rewarding.
You won’t find anything that
gives you more enjoyment.”

Adult computer classes available
Camden County Re-Entry
Inc. recently held its first
adult computer class and a
class of adults learned the
basic elements and function
of a computer.
With the success rate of
the program at 89 percent
and a retention rate of 93
percent, more classes will be
held on a daily basis and a
schedule has been provided
for any adults who may be
interested in joining.
Based on the success rate
of the program, classes will
be offered twice a week in
one-hour sessions to give
everyone a chance to enroll
into the program.
The adult computer class
is outlined for in-class litera
ture as well as home assign
ments. Instructors assist with
any questions or problems
that may arise during the
class or at home and provide
students with contact infor
mation for assistance outside
of the class.
Several students have
commented on the class.
“I have learned so much
more in the Camden County
Re-Entry Computer than
any other class being offered
in Camden County for
adults,” said Lawrence Rez-
zarday.
“Since taking this class, I
have become more comfort
able with creating and using
spreadsheets,” said Joanne
Mainor.
“Ms. Moorer would sim
plify the work materials so
we can understand the lesson
which we could not grasp.
She has been a very helpful
resource to us and I am
thankful for her assistance
and efforts,” said Andrea
Mitchell.
Robert Cummings, chief
executive officer of Camden
County Re-Entry, has pro
vided the community with
the tools and resources to
conduct the class.
Upcoming classes will be
held in the Atkinson Build
ing, located at 208 E. Fourth
St. in Woodbine. Those who
sign up should have a com
puter or laptop at home and
basic knowledge of comput
ers for the advanced classes.
Classes will be held Tues
days and Wednesdays for
one-hour sessions. The

“Power Point,” Tuesday, July
16 to Tuesday, Sept. 3; “Pub
lisher,” Tuesday, Sept. 17 to
