Straight From the Heart


During our June Adoption Training Class we had the privilege of hearing a presentation on Special Needs Adoption from guest speaker, Patty Boles.

Patty has been a foster parent to over one hundred children, is an adoptive mother to ten, serves as the president of the North County Foster Parents Association and as executive director of Straight From The Heart, a non-profit resource center and resale store providing support and assistance to foster families. As Part of the Grossmont College Foster and Kinship Care Education Program , Straight From the Heart provides free workshops, classes, and CPR/1st Aid training for foster and adoptive parents.

Most recently, Patty's great advocacy work as been highlighted in THIS North County Times cover story.

To learn more about Patty and Straight from the Heart, feel free to call or visit the resale store located at 839 West San Marcos Boulevard in San Marcos,760-744-224.

You can also support this great organization by donating your gently-used baby and kid's clothing to Straight From the Heart, and encouraging others to do the same.
