"I was so happy and sad to see them go." 💛

That's what reunification looks like from a foster parent's perspective. Two brothers, over a year together and a mom and dad who worked hard, completed their program and got their kids back.

Robin cheered for a goodbye they didn't want, because that's what showing up for a child really means. This Foster Care Month, meet someone who knows firsthand what it means to love a child well.

“You are always worth fighting for.”

That message is at the heart of Eric's foster care journey. Inspired by the people who became his family of choice, Eric now helps children in foster care know they have someone in their corner.

Proof that important work and cupcakes can absolutely coexist. 🧁

We recently had an open house at our Transitional Living Home for young women in foster care and invited folks to come and chat with the team, take a tour of the home and learn about the opportunities this space helps make possible.

Meaningful conversations, lots of smiling faces and yes... very cute desserts.

Big thanks to everyone who stopped by to spend time with us!

One myth we hear a lot is that kids in foster care have behavioral issues or may be too difficult to connect with. The reality is that most of them are just kids...kids who've been through something hard and are trying to figure out how to trust again.

Acting out, shutting down or keeping people at arm's length is not a character flaw. It's often just a response to uncertainty. When young people find a home where the adults are consistent and patient, something usually shifts. Connection takes time, and it's almost always worth it.

Some moments in foster care are hard to put into words. For Craig & Stephanie, it was a child who looked them in the eyes and said, "Never quit fostering, other kids will love you too." That's why they keep showing up. This Foster Care Awareness Month, we're honoring families like theirs who open their hearts and change lives. ❤️

Did you know kids often model how adults handle stress and emotions? Our everyday moments play a big role in shaping their mental health.

When caregivers feel supported, children and teens do too.

💚 Explore simple ways to strengthen connection and wellbeing.

There are many different ways people step into supportive roles for youth in foster care. Some are relatives, some are licensed caregivers and some are simply people who feel called to show up in a meaningful way. What matters most is creating environments where young people feel safe, valued and supported as they grow.

Sometimes it starts smaller than people expect. Learning, asking questions, or even simply understanding what youth in care experience can be a meaningful first step.

What’s something you’ve always wondered about foster care, but haven’t asked?

"This was never about me or what I might lose. It was about creating a safe, loving environment for children, even if only for a season."

Sunni said that on a morning when everything felt uncertain. It's the kind of clarity that only comes from showing up, even when it's hard. Her story is worth reading! 💚
