CASA- Stories of Hope http://humboldtcasa.org/stories/ en-us 2004-05-12T20:00:00+00:00 Jasmine doesn't remember the mother who Nancy used to be. http://humboldtcasa.org/stories/archives/000479.html After nearly a year, Jasmine was reunited with her mother. "To see Nancy's transformation from that day in the closet into the mature woman who had all the skills needed to raise a healthy child – it was simply amazing. I had almost given up hope – but in this case I got to see the system really work. Everyone – the social worker, foster parents, CASA, and the mom – worked together and today Jasmine is doing very well. I feel privileged to have witnessed it." casa 2004-05-12T20:00:00+00:00 My name is Sarah. http://humboldtcasa.org/stories/archives/000478.html After five years of foster homes and eleven moves, Victoria, my CASA was still there, happily helping me adjust to my new adopted parents and a new safe and stable home where I could have a life just like other kids. casa 2004-05-12T19:57:23+00:00 The first time Holly met Tina was in a foster home in Eureka. http://humboldtcasa.org/stories/archives/000477.html When Tina neared her seventeenth birthday, Sharon asked her if she could become her legal guardian.
