DSWD says every child deserves a family, calls for more foster parents Looking at nine-year old Joana (not her real name) now, one would never guess that she went through a traumatic experience two years ago. Her cheerful-aura is a complete opposite of the child who was very quiet, reserved, and traumatized when her teacher brought her to the Romblon Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office in 2011. In an interview with Joana, it was found out that her own grandmother who took her in custody following her parents’ separation physically abused her. Joana was taken away from her grandmother and stayed with licensed foster parents in Romblon. The foster parents welcomed and treated Joana as part of their family. Even the couple’s two kids helped Joana cope with the painful experience as well as the changes in her life.
