"Believe In Our Children & Families"
- Children thrive and grow when they are connected to a healthy and loving family and community.
- Youth have healthier lives and better outcomes into their adult years when they have an awareness of and connection to their birth families, culture, and heritage.
- The preferred family for children is the family of Unity and Origin whether the nuclear family or the extended family.
- Institutionalization of children and youth, even children and youth with disabilities, is not desirable. When children are separated from their parents, they should be in a setting that is the least restrictive and least isolated from their family and community.
- Children should be protected through Primary Prevention, Provision of Voluntary Treatment, Services, and Strengthening of Family and Community Resources.
- When children are separated from their parents, every effort should be made to provide services that strengthen families so as to permit reunification as soon as possible.
- If every effort is made to strengthen families and services are unwanted or unsuccessful, children who cannot be reunited with their parents should have a permanent home, as closely connected with their family and culture as possible.
- Children and youth should receive services to develop life skills that reduce future homelessness and homeless children should be helped to reunite with their families, if possible, and offered community support and residential stability when reunification with family is not possible.
- Disparities that America's Children and Families experience in child welfare systems are similar to inequities in education, employment, health care, treatment and housing.
- Disparities that America's children and Families experience in child welfare systems often reflect unequal scrutiny on families of color and lack of cultural competence at the institutional, policy and individual level.

Our families will work individually with case managers who provide home-based family counseling, and link families with resources to address needs in employment, drug/alcohol rehabilitation, and counseling, rap-around services, childcare, educational training, job placement, and permanent housing. Adults will learn to cope with stressful situations; avoiding a problem, increase situations. The use of alcohol and drugs cause a situation to become a more severe, a severe problem. The organization teaches coping and managing skills; seeking help, guidance, and discussing your problem, will lead towards good results in future maintenance “Coping Skills”. A contemporary children's program is run by trained staff, volunteers to facilitate games, and interactive activities that assist children in expressing their feelings and learning effective communication skills, while providing tutoring and mentoring. At times, a child must undergo counseling to cope with their emotions, thoughts of feeling abandon, abused and neglected.

Our transitional goal is to gain family unity, discuss problems, and receive the appropriate support so that the family may live in peace.
Miracle Caregivers for Needy Children and Families,
Through our not-for-profit organization for children and families we focus on safety, wellness, and education. Reunification, it is one of our primary family goals, stabilizing families to live independently. Although there are many families in Georgia who experienced separation, we encourage family unity. Many children throughout Georgia are missing their childhood life, forced into adult life, attempting to live independently at an early age. Children are making wrong decisions which affect their lives forever. We are here to help the children make superior decisions for themselves, with expectations that the families will reunify as one.
Many children are scared, worried, lonely, and confused about their family dilemma and hardships. Do we want children to feel this way? No, we are here to be guardians to children who develop negative thoughts. Reinforcing optimistic dreams of becoming successful adults is one of our many goals in improving child life-long development.
