Helping Children and Families Now More Than Ever

Our Mission
Our mission is to preserve,
protect, and when needed,
provide families. Motivated
by compassion for vulnerable
children, young adults, frail
elderly and their families,
we provide high-quality and
innovative services that meet
their social, educational and
emotional needs.
2
What We Do
We primarily help children who don’t have families able to care for them, and support children, young adults, the
elderly and their families through the everyday challenges and transitions in life. With your support, we’ve been helping
the most vulnerable people in our community improve their lives for 110 years. Our services include:
• Foster Care and Adoption for infants and children with special needs.
• Therapeutic foster care homes for children and teenagers who can no longer live with their
birth families for a variety of reasons, most commonly abuse and neglect.
• Providing and supporting adoptive and foster families for children who continue to heal
from the trauma they’ve endured, and are ready to live with a family.
• Supplying nutritional formula and diapers to low-income parents of children ages 2 and younger.
• Offering scholarships to children of low-income parents that enable them to access highquality educational opportunities, in a nurturing environment, by attending Turrell Child
Care & Early Learning Center.
• Clinical support and coaching programs for children and adolescents to help them make
healthy and positive life choices.
• Counseling and guidance for the frail elderly and their caregivers, to help them navigate the
services available to them.
• Helping young adults who are “aging out” of foster care to obtain and maintain housing,
medical services, education and work.

Message from
Bob Jones, President & CEO and John Kandravy,
2008
This past year was extraordinary, in every sense of the word. 2008 had more than its share of transitions and
uncertainties that had an effect on just about everyone. The economic downturn was surprising in its depth and
breadth. Children’s Aid and Family Services has weathered several recessions in its 110-year history, and with support from our loyal and committed donors and strong engagement by our Board of Trustees, we are confident we
will get through these difficult times. The most vulnerable in our communities need our help now more than ever.
The agency was extremely fortunate last year to experience its largest-ever increase in philanthropy,
which went against the trend in charitable fundraising. This help from our generous donors was essential to meeting the challenges of both the economic downturn and significant changes in state priorities for child welfare,
which resulted in a number of major adaptations to our child welfare programs.
One of the changes has been the transition of our Boarder Babies program to the Medically Needy Infants and
Toddlers Foster Care program, which serves children with more serious conditions such as HIV or Hepatitis C
exposure, cardiac conditions and the effects of complications from premature birth. Caring for these children is a
group of exceptionally dedicated foster parents who work closely with agency medical and professional staff to
ensure high-quality care. There were 48 children served last year in the program and we continue to recruit more
foster families, especially for infants, since this is an area of growing need.
Additionally, most of the children in our care have serious behavioral issues due to backgrounds of trauma,
abuse and neglect. Often they have undergone several foster care placements by the time they join us, and consequently have profound issues with trust. Thus, the therapeutic foster care offered by the agency is their best
chance to heal and eventually live healthy, productive and independent lives.
In 2008, Children’s Aid and Family Services embraced an innovative model of foster care designed to
encourage relationship building. Due to the remarkable generosity of
Helen’s Hope Foundation, we were able to open two Professional Parent
foster homes in Clifton and West Orange, NJ. (Another Professional Parent
foster home opened in the spring of 2009.) Four children, ages 14 through
18, live in each home with a professional foster parent who is an employee
of the agency, in addition to a co-parent and a full-time youth counselor.
The Professional Parent foster home offers a real family environment
and builds a strong sense of security for the children, helping them to
trust and create lasting relationships. It is a significant addition to our
continuum of services. Further, due once more to changing state priorities,
we made the decision to convert some of our therapeutic foster care residences to more specialized group homes, which provide intensive clinical and
behavioral treatment for adolescents with backgrounds of abuse and neglect.
We serve some of the most vulnerable in our community, and this
recession certainly has had a more severe impact on those with less. For
instance, the Baby Basics program — which provides free nutritional formula and diapers to low-income families with babies and toddlers — had a
surge in the number of clients needing help.

Children’s Aid and Family Services | 2008 Annual Report
Board Chair
In the beginning of 2008, 92 families were in the Baby Basics program. By year’s end, that number
ballooned to 157. Many of these families were getting by until an unexpected problem — a health issue or job loss —
took a further, sometimes devastating toll on their finances. Fortunately, because of our strong donor base, we
were able to meet the growing need for this vital program, and help these families through hard times.
There was also an increase in job losses in the area, which contributed to a decrease in enrollment at Turrell
Child Care & Early Learning Center. Some of our parents became unemployed, and could no longer afford fulltime child care. They approached us with anxiety and concern about their children’s futures. We responded by
offering increased part-time and flexible schedules to help these families manage, and our onsite clinician
was also available to offer strategies to families to help them cope.
In 2008, we continued to receive a generous grant from The Philanthropic Initiative for an aggressive advertising and public outreach campaign to help recruit foster and adoptive families for the children in our care. As a
result, there was an 11 percent increase in inquiries from prospective foster and adoptive parents and a surge in
the number of visits to our website.
The Thomas R.S. Burgin Parents Fund, which provides stipends to young adults who have “aged out” of the
agency’s care and are attending college or vocational school, helped a record number of teenagers. In 2008, of 11
teenagers who aged out, 10 went on to post-secondary education. We are thrilled that so many young people are
setting goals and planning for a bright future.
Changes such as our community has experienced in 2008 tend to produce insecurity and anxiety. Thus, we are
striving to be flexible and offer innovative and practical solutions to the problems experienced by those we serve
in the community. We want our clients to know that in uncertain times, there
are still certain things they can count on. For more than a century, some of
the most vulnerable members of our community have relied on us, and today
they are counting on us more than ever. With the continued support of our loyal
donors and volunteers, we will be there for many more years to help vulnerable
children, families and seniors.
On behalf of the Board and our staff, we thank you for your remarkable
commitment to Children’s Aid and Family Services.

Memorable Moments
Highlights of our past year
2008
Children’s Aid and Family Services was honored as a 2008 Congressional “Angel in Adoption.” The awards are sponsored by the Congressional Coalition of Adoption Institute (CCAI).
Each year, members of Congress select individuals, families or organizations from their home
state that have demonstrated a commitment to improving the lives of children in need of homes.
U.S. Rep. Steve Rothman (D-NJ) nominated Children’s Aid
and Family Services for the “Angel in Adoption” award.
Our Boarder Babies program transitioned into the Medically Needy Infants and Toddlers Foster Care program, which
serves infants and children who suffer from the effects of premature birth and a variety of medical conditions.
The Baby Basics program expanded to include a third
distribution site in Carlstadt, in addition to the Ridgewood
and Englewood sites. This important program provided free
nutritional formula and diapers to more infants and toddlers
of low-income families than ever before.
The Turrell Child Care & Early Learning Center provided scholarship assistance to 35 percent of its enrollees,
allowing the children of low-income parents to receive highquality educational opportunities. Once again, the Turrell
Center offered parenting skills training through a six-week
EPIC (Every Person Influences Children) program. The mini

camp program was also expanded to serve children ages 6 - 8 when area schools
are closed.
The agency continued the large-scale publicity campaign it began in 2007,
funded by a generous gift from an anonymous donor through TPI (The Philanthropic Initiative). The awareness campaign focuses on
recruiting foster and adoptive families, attracting
new volunteers and raising much-needed financial support. Thanks in part to the TPI funding,
the agency website, www.cafsnj.org, received a
record number of hits during the holiday season.
Thanks to the hardworking, talented volunteers at The Depot, our all-volunteer gift and
craft shop, more than $190,000 was contributed
to Children’s Aid and Family Services in 2008.
The Read Now! program, which brings
books and provides volunteer readers for disadvantaged young children, expanded. By yearend it had delivered more than 1,000 books a
month to low-income families and its volunteers read to more than 750 children monthly.

Memorable Moments
Highlights of our past year
2008
The stars came out to support vulnerable children in 2008,
including players from the New Jersey Nets and New York
Giants, as well as international bestselling author Harlan
Coben, who showed his support at our annual Wine and
Food Tasting Evening.
For the first time last year, thanks to increased donations and a Challenge Grant from the Redlich Horwitz
Foundation, the Thomas R.S. Burgin Parents Fund expanded its reach by supplying care packages to all of the
teenagers that aged out of our care. The Fund also serves
as a form of emergency support for any former client of
our foster care programs.
In 2008, the agency’s Eldercare program introduced
a grandparenting group at the Americas Unidas Center
in Hackensack. A bilingual social worker led the group
for both English and Spanish speaking seniors. The program also expanded its “brain games” for the seniors,
which encourages socialization, enhances cognitive
functioning and helps the seniors remain engaged.

Children’s Aid and Family Services | 2008 Annual Report
The NJ Adoption Resource Clearing House (www.njarch.org) has over 1,200 pages of
information that supports all members of the adoption community. In 2008, visits to the
website increased to 8,500 per month, a 9 percent increase from 2007.
The Kinship Legal Guardianship Resource Clearing House (www.kinkonnect.org) was
launched in 2008 because of an increased need for kinship care information and support.
With over 200 pages of resource information on the website, the program offers numerous
books, articles, and resource materials for those parenting their “kin,” most of whom are seniors
and/or grandparents.
Kudos to the nearly 500 volunteers who play a key role in making our mission happen.
In 2008, “Friends of Children’s Aid and Family Services – Volunteers Making a Difference,”
was created to help volunteers feel more connected to the agency. The organization provides
education about the agency’s programs, helps build community awareness and serves as a recruitment vehicle for volunteers by offering networking and social opportunities.
Because of the heightened public awareness from the campaign, there was an 11 percent increase in inquiries from
prospective foster and adoptive parents and increased traffic to the website. Additionally, the New Jersey Nets and the
New York Giants showed their support by hosting a number of events for our children.

Our Donors
The people who make a difference
Agency Endowment and Named Funds
The Anne Goheen Crane Endowment Fund
The agency’s principal endowment fund provides unrestricted funds that can be directed to areas of greatest need. Interest from the
fund provides the agency’s only source of reliable income. It is used to support mission commitments to: keep services accessible to all,
regardless of ability to pay; provide the ability to anticipate changing needs and respond to the unexpected; and be less vulnerable to
economic fluctuations.
The Ethel G. and Arthur B. Toan, Jr. Fund
This fund provides unrestricted support that can be directed to any area of need within the agency.
The Anne and John Oros Fund
This fund provides dedicated college scholarship support for children who were fostered as infants by the Oros family, and, in the future,
to support other teens who have aged out of foster care and are attending college.
Margaret Pasmantier Community Life Education Fund
Established in memory of Margaret Pasmantier, a long-time agency volunteer, this funds a variety of community educational programs.
Julie Lynne Zipper Memorial Fund
This fund was established in memory of Julie Lynne Zipper, a tragic victim of the World Trade Center attacks of 2001. As a lasting
tribute to Julie and in recognition of her love for the Turrell Child Care & Early Learning Center in Paramus – attended by her son Jason –
the fund provides scholarships for staff members who wish to further their education in early childhood learning.
The Thomas R.S. Burgin Parents Fund
This fund provides financial assistance to teens aging out of foster care and attending college or vocational training. It is also available
to fund tutoring and other special educational needs for children in the agency’s care. The transition to college can be difficult for many
teens, and for those leaving foster care and lacking the usual family support system, this transition is harder. Teens graduating from
foster care within the State are eligible for subsidized tuition, room, board, and selected educational expenses, provided they study in
New Jersey. However, they have no means of financial assistance to fund clothing, toiletries or other day-to-day living expenses. The
Thomas R.S. Burgin Parents Fund provides this support, as well as serves as a source of emergency funding for any former client of our foster
care programs.
The Barbara Abney Bolger Fund
Formed in honor of long-standing volunteer and Board member, Barbara Abney Bolger, this fund provides for the maintenance, renovation
and other capital needs of the Woodlea and Path I group homes.
The Leda M. Jadrosich Fund
Established in memory of Leda M. Jadrosich, this fund supports all aspects of the agency’s adoption services for vulnerable infants,
children and teens – from helping them heal to recruiting loving adoptive families for them.
The Ruth L. and William F. Warmington Fund
An endowed fund to support the core infrastructure needs of the agency, such as communications, development and the professional development of leadership staff.
