Everest, a psychology major from Brock University, had at one time worked as a social worker for Big Brothers, and Tomkinson, who holds a physical education degree from McMaster, grew up with five brothers. "We have one who‘s been with us for about a year," said Tomkinson. Since opening their home to fosâ€" ter children in April 1992, they have had 10 placements ranging from shortâ€"term relief to longer stays. Oakville couples rewarded for efforts as foster parents Budsons Bay Company Oakville Place 842â€"4811 CLINIQUE 7 Allergy Tested. 100% Fragrance Free "Our specialty is to provide shortâ€"term placement for teenage boys," she explained. "We have room for two." "We‘re confident about dealing with teenage boys, "Tomkinson added "We understand their probâ€" lems. "We tend to take older children. They‘re harder to place, and we‘ve gravitated toward helping teenage boys." said Tomkinson. Their biggest challenge is "modâ€" ifying their antiâ€"social behavior," said Tomkinson. "And, over time, we‘ve seen big changes in behavâ€" ior. We teach them what a normal, natural family is all about, because someday, they will have kids and o In presenting them with the Family Unity award, the CAS noted that Tomkinson and Everest have "incorporated a very sincere warmth and understanding toward not only the children in their care, but also toward the parents of the children in their care become parents." "They do not hesitate to mainâ€" tain contact with parents and have a special talent for encouraging parâ€" ents to express their feelings and concerns and anxieties while empowering families towards reâ€" unification." Finbarr and Judith O ‘Donoghue of River Oaks, foster parents of a brother and sister, received the Outstanding Service award. The O‘Donoghues, who have one grown son living away from home, had a few shortâ€"term placeâ€" ments before committing themâ€" selves to becoming foster parents on a more permanent basis about four years ago. And, it appears their foster children, a 14â€"yearâ€"old girl and her 12â€"yearâ€"old brother, will be able to remain in their home. ‘"We treat these children as if they were our own," says Judith O‘Donoghue. "We got involved with foster parenting for personal and religious reasons. We felt God was asking something of us. Here we were in this house with extra bedrooms, and we felt something more was expectâ€" ed of us." They weighed the options of adoption and foster parenting, "and we ended up with fostering." Their first placement was a sevenâ€"yearâ€" old boy who stayed only one month before he was moved into a treatâ€" ment centre â€" the O‘Donoghues knew this was the case. That was followed by some relief placement for a little girl. "We‘re like a family, the four of us," says Judith. "We give them everything they would receive like if they were our own children. We‘re responsible for them. Halton CAS has between 190 and 200 children in foster care. There are 88 foster families in Halton, 20 of them in Oakville. Others receiving foster parenting awards include: Thomas and Sharon Jinkerson of Burlington, Family Unity; Alan and Cindy MacIntosh of Burlington, Rookie of the Year; Erwin and Hildegard Weidner of the Milton area, CARE Award; Bob and Norma Reynolds and family of Burlington, Halton Home Care Award; and Harold and Lenora Roman of Burlington, Betty Hill Memorial Award. Then in September, four years ago, the O‘Donoghues received a phone call which not only led to fostering, but the reunion of a brothâ€" er and sister in the same home. Five months after the boy was placed in their home, he was joined by his older sister. The O‘Donoghues are grateful for the support of the Halton CAS "to get us through the tough times, but we‘ve weathered nicely. The Children‘s Aid social workers have gone out of their way to help us."
