Brian and Barb Trauman, Fargo PATH Foster Parents are the 2014 North Dakota Family Based Services Association Provider Award Recipients.


Nomination:  Brian and Barb are PATH foster parents and have provided care to numerous youth in our region.  They are excellent foster parents and provide safe, encouraging and nurturing home to the youth who are placed in their home.

Brian and Barb believe in a permanent loving home for every child and promote this philosophy as they provide care to children living with them.  They welcome contact with birth families and if adoption is the goal, adoptive families as well.  They attend to the needs of the children and welcome the team approach as they work together to wrap services around the child and family as everyone works toward permanency.  They will do whatever is necessary to help children reach personal goals and developmental milestones, always with a caring, supportive spirit.

Brian and Barb are exceptional leaders and advocates for children.  They are well respected in the community as well as among foster parent colleagues and other professionals who have worked with them.  Their insights are respected and valued.

Their motivation is to help children through a supportive environment and work toward the best interests of the children who have been placed in their home.  The Trauman’s continue contact with youth who have aged out of foster care to ensure someone is still “looking out for them”.

They have a heart and a passion for children which provides a valuable resource to our community.
Brian and Barb are great advocates for the children in their home.  They are willing to go the extra mile to ensure children have what they need to be successful.  They have also been mentors to the youth as well as their birth families when they have contact and connections.  They believe in families and do their best to promote these relationships.

The Trauman’s are good members of a professional team.  They seek out services, are willing to provide extra services themselves and have even assisted in finding apartments for youth once they leave their home.  They make lifelong commitments to the youth who have been in their home and truly show the unconditional love every child deserves.

CONGRATULATIONS, BRIAN & BARB!!!
