Congratulations to Regena Greene!
Regena Greene is an invaluable resource parent in Charles County. She has shown extraordinary dedication, compassion, and commitment to the children in foster care. She was faced with a complicated placement, and she handled it with care and respect.
She was able to continue providing support and care during very difficult times in the child’s life even while working through personal family issues. Greene is a true asset as a resource parent for the agency.
