Laura and Ron Darland head a group of foster families in east Vancouver. For the last year and a half, they’ve been among the first in Clark County to use a foster care model that rallies the support and community of surrounding foster families.
Private foster care agency Catholic Community Services began using the hub home model, otherwise known as the Mockingbird Family Model, at its Vancouver office in March 2018 and claims it addresses some major issues in the system, namely foster parent burnout and retention.
