In an attempt to meet the growing number of Hispanic people who are interested in being foster or adoptive parents, Lutheran Social Services has opened a child services center in which the caseworkers are bilingual.

"'There are people in the Hispanic community who want to foster or adopt a child in need,' says Angelica Villastrigo, who will be the director of the South Side office. 'By offering both languages when they walk through the door, we can maximize the opportunities for anyone who has ever thought of opening their heart and home to a new family member, whether for a few weeks or for a lifetime.'"

The center will be located on San Antonio’s South Side and will open in May. Read more at BizJournals.com.
