Through the generations...
Most were broken and bruised, dirty and
disheveled. Some wandered the streets,
orphaned by the harsh realities of farm
accidents or disease. Others carried with
them frightening memories of abuse,
desperately hoping for security. All needed
love. Guidance. Stability.
The early years
Witnessing the growing population of homeless and abandoned children, compassionate
citizens in Jacksonville joined together on
behalf of these unfortunate orphans. Led by
Rev. D.W. Comstock, community members
formed Children's Home Society of Florida
(CHS) just after the turn of the century…just
after fires destroyed the city, virtually eliminating
philanthropic dollars. But establishing CHS in
the midst of economic turmoil didn’t deter
our leaders from caring for young ones,
securing loving families to nurture even the
frailest of children.With a $414.50 balance
in our 1904 treasury, our small yet dedicated
team found parents for 26 children.
Though funding remained the great hindrance
for progress, even our earliest leaders knew
2
that if they did their work well, the people
of Florida would “furnish the means and
moral support necessary for saving all of the
suffering children in the state” (Cora Seaton,
Superintendent, 1904-1910).
The silent generation
The people of Florida did not disappoint.
Without any government funding, CHS relied
solely on the generosity of donors to help
protect and nurture children. During decades
dominated by the Great Depression and
World War II, our doors remained open
to the increasing number of children coming
into care.While some families could no longer
afford to provide for their children, others
were desperate to find homes for fatherless
“war babies.” Before the era ended, our daily
family grew to 800 abandoned children.
Thanks to faithful supporters, CHS was
one of few child-serving organizations in
the country to remain financially sound
throughout these years, regarded by children’s
agencies across the nation as one of the
10 largest and most carefully conducted in
the country.
Baby boomers
CHS continued to stand strong, expanding
services, staff and reach even as the nation
faced spiraling inflation and political, economic
and social stresses. In broadening programs
to serve youth with emotional, developmental
and mental challenges, we furthered our
pursuit of family stability and permanency for
all children. Moreover, our growing concern
for child abuse and neglect steered our focus
to include a significant preventive approach,
one we continue to maintain and enhance.
Millennials
Now with nearly 2,000 employees in 14
divisions blanketing Florida, we’ve strengthened
our commitment to family preservation and
child abuse prevention. In doing so, our
intensified focus on early education and care,
independent and transitional living for teens,
and preserving and empowering families
supports our dream of breaking the tragic
generational cycle of abuse and neglect for
increasing numbers of children. And just as
we have for more than a century, we continue
fulfilling our mission of Embracing Children.
Inspiring Lives.

Message from the President
Message from the Chair
Our work isn’t easy. Our responsibilities to protect children and
strengthen families often come with long days and emotional
journeys, but the transformations we witness overshadow any
challenges encountered along the way.
For some of us, the tough economy means cutting back on a few
extras…dinners out, vacations, perhaps cancelling our digital cable.
We may have to adjust our retirement plan or learn to live with
less financial cushion. But for many families served by CHS, the
tough economy means cutting back
on necessities…food, electricity,
transportation.
Perhaps no challenge is currently more
pressing than the state of the economy,
both regionally and nationally. While
many of us revisit our own family
budgets, we must also remember our
responsibility to care for the vulnerable
children in our communities…those
who have been victimized by abuse,
neglect or abandonment.Those who rely on us for protection, for
shelter, for guidance and love.
During this time of economic healing, it’s important that we join
together for the benefit of the children entrusted to the care of
CHS. With our solid history and long-standing strength, we know
we’ll survive this time of uncertainty. But for thousands of young
ones in our care, their hope for survival hinges on the kindness
of others.
When financial hardships threaten family stability, CHS is called upon
to fortify overburdened families, to guide and educate frustrated
parents, and to protect, shelter and nurture our local children.
Now is the time to take a stand and invest not just in the future
of our children, but also in the future of our community…in the
future of our state…in the future of our country.
As you can probably imagine, the
increased burdens challenging Florida’s
families can put children’s safety at risk,
causing the critical services offered by
CHS to be even more in demand.
Not only do we continue to protect, shelter and nurture children,
but we’re also guiding more teens as they venture into a less
welcoming adult world than ever before. Further, we’re helping
parents learn to manage rising pressures while raising their young
ones in stable, loving homes.
With more children and families relying on CHS, I thank you for
supporting this great organization. As you read further in the report,
you’ll see how your generosity allows compassionate staff to help
young mothers like Christine break the cycle of abuse to give her
son the life she never had. It helps CHS find loving families for
children like Alisha and Alia, who desperately needed a safe, stable
home. And it allows us to join together in providing hope, nurturing,
guidance and opportunities to more than 86,000 children and
adults throughout Florida.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors and partners, and the
unwavering devotion of our volunteers and staff, Florida’s children
still have so much hope for brighter futures. I extend my deepest
appreciation for your support and ask that you continue your
commitment to improve the lives of Florida’s children and families,
especially as they need your help now more than ever.
On behalf of the devoted volunteers we have at CHS, I sincerely
thank you for your support and encourage you to invite your
friends, family and colleagues to experience the difference we can
make for Florida’s children. It’s through the kindness and selflessness
of our caring contributors, dedicated staff and faithful friends that
we’re able to continue bringing hope and happiness to children
and families across the state.

New beginnings ... Happy endings
Christine and Camdyn
Christine grew up watching her mom get
high. She witnessed brutal beatings from
boyfriends. And she watched as, time and
time again, her mother returned to abusive
relationships and a drug-addicted lifestyle.
It didn’t take long to begin following in her
mother’s footsteps. Christine dropped out
of school in seventh grade and, shortly after,
turned to drugs.
time she ever had any – she
followed them, determined to
make something of herself. “I
didn’t want him to grow up the
way I did,” Christine says of her
son, Camdyn. “As long as I’m
his mom, nothing bad is ever
going to happen to him.”
Though six months clean by then, Christine
had serious doubts about the life her baby
would have. She soon realized she was on
her own; her entire household was high, and
she needed help.
During her time with CHS,
Christine earned her GED, secured a job,
began college, received her driver’s license,
bought a car and completed the necessary
steps to move into her own apartment with
Camdyn. “I’ve accomplished more here in
two years than I have in my entire life,” she
says. She’s scared to even think of where
she and Camdyn would be without CHS.
She found it at CHS’ Transitions Home, a
residential program serving teen mothers
and their babies. For the first time in her life,
Christine felt safe sleeping at night. While the
rules were tough to get used to – it’s the first
While her days are far from easy, Christine
dreams of one day traveling the world
with her son. For now, she juggles school,
work, chores and spending quality time
with Camdyn.
At 19, she became pregnant by her drugaddicted boyfriend.
Christine credits CHS for teaching her how
to be the mom her son deserves – from
handling finances and understanding her legal
rights to burping her baby and knowing
what to do when he cries.
Aspiring to build a better life for her family,
Christine hopes to earn a master’s degree in
social work and possibly become a therapist.
Led by determination and ambition, she
knows she can help other young women,
just as CHS helped her.
Daralyn' s family
After 20 years of hoping, Daralyn thought
her dream of raising children may never
come true. So, she used her passion for
youth to volunteer at a local drug and
alcohol treatment center for adolescents;
there, she found sisters Jessica and Ashley –
young teens struggling without stability,
without love.
Once Daralyn learned they were available
for adoption, she immediately welcomed
them into her family,
relying on training and resources provided
by CHS. She learned valuable techniques
to prepare her to care for children with
frightening pasts and uncertain futures, and
her natural gift for motherhood shone.
But that was just the beginning.
Daralyn soon received a call she’d long
hoped for – two precious toddlers needed
a family.
Without hesitation, she
brought Alisha and Alia into
her growing family. After
suffering severe abuse at
the hands of their birth
parents, the little girls had
been living in separate
foster homes. Just months
later, Daralyn adopted
them as well. “They always
come in pairs,” Daralyn
says. “I like to reunite, to
keep siblings together.”
6
It wasn’t long before CHS called Daralyn
again.This time, she opened her home to
newborn twins born addicted to drugs, both
suffering from horrific withdrawal symptoms.
Continuing to draw upon support and
education from CHS, Daralyn cared for the
innocent babies, nurturing and loving them
while they shook and screamed.
A year later, she adopted the twins. And
though she still welcomed foster children,
she doubted she would adopt any more.
Until Angelo arrived. As Daralyn mentored
his birth mother, they both realized she
wasn’t ready to parent her baby. She soon
asked Daralyn to adopt him, too.
Now with five little ones under her roof
and her two grown daughters starting
families of their own, Daralyn will complete
her family as she finalizes the adoption of her
teen foster daughter.
“It’s like a mission,” Daralyn says. “I’ve always
wanted children, always wanted to be a
helper, a rescuer.That’s just my heart.”
Laura and Kaitlyn
After enduring the emotional agony of two
miscarriages, Laura cried tears of sorrow
when she found out she was pregnant
again. She was terrified – terrified she’d
miscarry, terrified she’d somehow hurt
her unborn baby. And more than that, as
a recovering drug addict, she was terrified
that the stress of her pregnancy would
tempt her to use again.
best life possible. And thanks to her
Healthy Start counselor, Laura’s
discovered a myriad of resources
including special programs, books
and DVDs that prepared her for what
to expect after bringing her baby home.
She even found an online support
group for women who were pregnant
while recovering from drug addictions.
But then she learned about CHS and the
Healthy Start Program, which educates,
counsels and helps women throughout their
pregnancy and first few years of motherhood.
Through her involvement, Laura learned how
to manage her stress, focus on her health and
discover new outlets for releasing anxiety.
Throughout her pregnancy, Laura
knew she could count on her
Healthy Start counselor for
support, education and resources.
Whenever she had questions,
her counselor always found
the answers.
“If I wasn’t in Healthy Start, I don’t know
what my stress could’ve caused,” Laura
admits. “It taught me that it’s not about me
anymore; it’s about the baby. She’s the
number one in my life and always will be.”
But perhaps most important to
Laura is how much her counselor
truly cares; vivid recollections of
past conversations and her sincere concern
for Laura and Kaitlyn remain immeasurable.
With baby Kaitlyn now the center of her
world, Laura’s determined to give her the
“CHS was such a big help to me…and it’s
a big help to the community,” Laura says.
“It really changed my life. I’m happy. I have
my child, she’s beautiful and she loves me.
Everything is about her.”

Cynthia' s family
Cynthia readily admits she shouldn’t have
left her young children home alone. And
after being convicted of child neglect, she
paid the price, losing them for nearly two
years. But it wasn’t until her two youngest
came back home that she realized just how
much time had passed…and just how
much she needed a hand.
“There was a readjustment period,” she
explains. “My girls were away … we lost all
bonding.” And shortly after they returned,
Cynthia was forced to quickly find a new
home on limited income and decreasing
wages.Thanks to CHS, she didn’t have to
do it alone.
While working with Cynthia to strengthen
her parenting skills and redevelop the bond
with her daughters, CHS quickly connected
the family with local resources to secure
a new home.To help Cynthia provide a
brighter future for her family, her CHS social
workers assisted her in finding a new job
and enrolling in higher education. But more
than that, they provided guidance on family
building and bonding, from reading and
doing homework together to playing games
and disciplining appropriately.
“The help was never-ending,” Cynthia says.
“You never hear about a program like
this…until you’re in it.They changed my life.”
Moreover, CHS helped Cynthia’s new husband
find a steady job with good benefits – just
in time to provide for his growing family.
Cynthia’s four children already
call him “Pa,” and he hopes to
eventually adopt the two
youngest.Though her older
children live with their birth
fathers, they’re thrilled to have
“Pa” in their lives as well.
future, and she’s learned to never take her
family for granted.
With the support of CHS, Cynthia’s selfesteem has blossomed, equipping her with
the confidence and determination to be “a
better person, a better mother to my children
and a better partner to my husband,” she
explains. “It’s a whole new beginning.”
For Cynthia, life finally seems to
be falling into place.Through CHS,
she’s found local resources for
financial, moral and family support.
She’s learned how to provide the
boundaries her children craved.
She’s learned to dream of a joyful

Measures of our success
Adoption
CHS creates forever families for children through public, traditional
and international adoptions.We find parents for children – not children
for parents – making every effort to match the parenting potential
of the family with the individual needs of the child. Our goal is to
ensure each adoption provides a child with a loving home for life.
Children and adults receiving adoption-related services . . . 5,194
Finalized adoptions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,090
During fiscal year 2008, CHS finalized more than 27
percent of Florida’s record-setting 3,674 public adoptions
involving children from foster care.
Reuniting families
Promising confidential lifetime maintenance of all adoption records,
CHS offers our birth parents and adoptees the opportunity to
reunite, if both parties consent, as well as the ability to access
and update medical and background information. Reunification
often provides closure and answers for all members of the CHS
adoption triad.

readiness in abused and neglected children. Our infant
and toddler mental health experts and child development
specialists were part of a community collaborative
to promote success in school and other settings. Our
partnership with Florida State University provided
specialized training for CHS staff as well as objective
evaluation and research findings.
Developmental early intervention
Through our Early Steps Program, we offer an array of services to
families with infants and toddlers who have health challenges or
developmental delays. Designed to enhance the child’s development
while providing hope and support for the family, this program includes
evaluation and planning, physical and speech therapy, home-based
teaching, nursing and medical services, assistive technology, nutritional

valuable resources and more. Our goal is to promote positive
parenting skills, child development, child health and other aspects
of family growth to prevent child abuse and neglect while
encouraging strong family relationships.

Home-based and family-centered services
In-home services reinforce family values, resolve conflicts and
improve communication among family members in their natural
environment. Our programs strengthen parenting skills and household management, integrate families into the community, and create
safe, stable, nurturing homes.Through this supportive process, we
provide parents with tools necessary to cope with the daily stresses
of family life.
Mentoring
Through our MODEL Mentoring Program, we match trained
volunteer mentors with children and teens who have an incarcerated
parent. Adult mentors regularly spend time with the youth, offer
friendship and advice, and serve as positive role models. Mentors

reach their full potential, effectively solve problems and grow to
become successful adults.

Child protection teams
Our child protection teams assist law enforcement and the
Department of Children and Families with investigations of child
abuse and neglect by providing comprehensive multidisciplinary
assessments of children reportedly victimized. Sensitive to the
trauma children have experienced, our teams offer comfort,
security and privacy during assessments in technologically advanced,
child-friendly centers. While our trained forensic interviewers gently
talk with traumatized children, appropriate parties observe the
interview at a remote location.This state-of-the-art system protects
the majority of child victims from sharing their experiences more
than once and ensures privacy and confidentiality.Throughout the
process, we provide support and resources while making recommendations for families to attain proper diagnoses and treatment
to prevent future crises.

gently help start the healing process for these traumatized children
while working with foster, adoptive and birth families to select safe,
appropriate, permanent homes.

Mental health and counseling services
While serving families with children who are emotionally troubled
or have behavioral disorders, we provide therapeutic support for
personal growth and development, as well as intensive support for
serious or chronic mental health issues. A CHS team of coordinators,
therapists and case managers provides guidance and specialized
training to birth, adoptive and/or foster parents, intensive therapy
for children, or linkage to mental health services.

Thanks to a four-year $1.6 million grant we received
from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration, CHS’ Trauma Recovery Initiative helps
children who’ve suffered multiple traumatic events such as
child abuse, loss of a parent, severe injury or illness.We’re
proud to partner with the University of South Florida for
the program’s research and evaluation components.This
national grant allows CHS to be one of Florida’s two
projects in the National Child Traumatic Stress Network
operated in conjunction with Duke University and the
University of California, Los Angeles.
Family visitation
Maintaining family relations while a child is in foster care is critical
for the child’s well-being and development. We provide safe,
comfortable settings for visits with parents, siblings and other family
members, promoting healthy relationships and reunification when
appropriate. CHS staff and trained volunteers oversee all visits and
provide role modeling for positive family interactions.

*Numbers reflect the average cost for the service. Actual figures may vary slightly according to region.
All contributions to CHS are tax-deductible as allowed by law. CHS is a 501(c)(3) private, not-for-profit organization.
We sincerely thank our supporters who joined the drive against child abuse
by purchasing or renewing a “Stop Child Abuse” specialty license plate.
Every tag purchased provides $25 to protect Florida’s children through
prevention programs offered by CHS and the Florida Network of
Children’s Advocacy Centers.Through 2007, sales and renewals of these
specialty plates generated more than $660,000 to protect our children.
Help us reach $1 million in 2010.
When you help drive the fight against child abuse with our specialty
license plate, you take a stand for children and protect innocent young
ones from suffering by the hands or negligence of those who are
supposed to love them most. Every three minutes, the Florida
Child Abuse Hotline receives another call reporting child abuse
or neglect.Together, we can change that.
You can easily buy or renew
your “Stop Child Abuse”
license plate online at
www.chsfl.org/stopchildabuseplate
or by visiting your local tag office.
The “ Stop Child Abuse”
license plate – protecting
Florida’s endangered children.
