May is National Foster Care Month. Misconceptions and myths abound when it comes to foster care, so when Bethany Christian Services asked me to share this infographic, I didn’t only learn a few things, but I knew I wanted to share with you guys, too.
Every child deserves a voice, and a safe + loving family.
What stands out to you? For me, it’s #3.
“Most children in foster care are there because their birth parents could not adequately care for them.” That breaks my heart.
Do you have an experience with foster care? My prayer is that as believers, we would trust God to live out the call to be His hands and feet to a broken world.
For more, check out my friend Kaia’s absolutely amazing post about going from being a busy mama of four young kids to becoming a foster mom to becoming an adoptive mom, too.
“What a tremendous gift it is to be a mom. What a blessing it is to be a family.”

I have two nephews and a niece adopted out of foster care and I know countless other families who have done the same! It is a wonderful way to be the hands and feet of Jesus!
So cool! Love makes a family. 🙂 Thanks for sharing! xo
My friend is in the process of adopting two sets of twins (4 biological siblings!) from the foster care system in Virginia. She blogs over at http://www.thegrangerbunch.com/ and talks about the difficulties and challenges they face as well as the victories they rejoice!
That’s amazing, Emily! Thank you for sharing — I’m definitely hopping over to peek into their journey now.
