How Will Fostering Impact My Biological Kids?

Praising God for the opportunity to share His love, peace, and hope with kids who so desperately need it.

We have been foster parents for 5 years and this is our first reunification! We have adopted 4 children from DSS and to be able to tell our story and this mom’s story is a blessing!

Foster children don’t all arrive sobbing and hysterical, despite what’s sometimes shared. Many times foster children arrive remarkably NORMAL, despite what they’ve been through. They talk, laugh, play, enjoy the new attention of the family and run and explore their new home. Of course, some cry. Who wouldn’t? Welcoming a new child always involves some unsettled feelings of what it may be like, though mostly our first days have been just fine in our 40 placements I share about in this blog.

Meals team members tag team to make a feast for a foster mom who needed recovery time!

We have been overjoyed to serve them (and help purchase a larger dinner table) as this family has grown over and over again to serve sibling groups.

Nationally, more than half of foster parents quit fostering within the first year, with another significant dip in the second year. No matter how many wonderful families step up with big hearts and good intentions, it will never be enough to meet the demand if only 40% continue after the first year. We must invest in foster families, so that children have amazing parents they deserve!
