Children in traditional foster care often feel tremendous anxiety, grief, and guilt over the loss of their family, not only parents but brothers and sisters. SOS Children’s Villages Illinois provides a permanent home where children can grow up with their siblings. In this family environment, children develop lasting relationships and regain their sense of family identity. SOS Children’s Villages strives to keep as many as five siblings in a single home. In one case, seven siblings stayed together at SOS until they were old enough to live on their own.
