When it comes to supporting foster and adoptive families, the Church (big C and little c) is in such a wonderful position to be able to provide wrap-around care. And this doesn’t just stand to be true for families who attend churches or who are followers of Jesus. This is true for every foster/adoptive family because they all need a little extra help loving and raising kids from hard places.

Whether or not you have foster families in your church now, it’s important to be informed about what foster care is and isn’t so that we can know how to best love and serve these families.

With measures like social distancing, school and church closures, and even mandatory quarantines for segments of our populations, we are realizing just how important, necessary, beautiful, and life-giving real connection is.
