FOSTER ADOPTION FOLLOW-UP

Back on Sunday, November 4, some members of our church, along with some special guests, provided great testimony to the purpose and power of foster care and foster adoption. Here are ways of supporting children, parents, and families involved in foster adoption:

• PARENT http://www.adoptuskids.org/resourcecenter/aboutfostercare.aspx 
• ADVOCATE http://www.casaforchildren.org/site/c.mtJSJ7MPIsE/b.5301309/k.9D58/Volunteering.htm 
• VOLUNTEER http://www.treehouse4kids.org/get-involved/volunteer/current_opportunities 
• DONATE http://www.mockingbirdsociety.org/how-can-i-help/make-a-donation/ 
• SPEAK-UP http://davethomasfoundation.org/about-foster-care-adoption/myths-and-misconceptions/ 
• PRAY 

The following non-profits have helped one of our church families directly. All continue to support them, with the exception of Childhaven (girls left for NW Center's program in April). The girls are currently supported by Treehouse and the CASA (noted above) program also.
