Aurora’s Story

Aurora often wondered where the next meal would come from and how she was going to continue to care for her three younger siblings. After many years of neglect and struggling to care for herself, her brothers and sister, Aurora was removed from her home and placed in foster care by Child Protective Services. Her younger brothers and sister were placed in separate foster homes, and Aurora feared she would never see them again. 

That's when CASA of Tarrant County came into Aurora’s life. Karman, a CASA volunteer, immediately went to work collecting information and reviewing records that detailed the experiences Aurora and her siblings had faced. She talked with family members, teachers, counselors, and others involved in the children's lives to get a deeper understanding of their circumstances. Through her diligent work as a CASA volunteer, Karman served as the court's eyes and ears, making recommendations to the judge on the best permanent home for the children. Karman recommended to the judge that Aurora be placed for adoption together with her brothers and sister. John and Deborah Phillips agreed to adopt all four children, and they became a forever family.
