Foster Care
Children Belong In Family.
It’s God’s design, and it’s the best design. We believe that even when a child can not be with their biological family, whether temporarily or permanently, they still need and deserve a family.
We also believe that it is the local church’s biblical responsibility to care for the widow and the orphan, not the government’s. Those ideals have led us to incorporate foster care into our model of caring for vulnerable children.
We empower the local church to be the solution to the orphan crisis through foster care and adoption.
What We do, more specifically
Educate the community on the long-term, negative effects of institutionalization and the healthier alternative of foster care
Recruit interested foster families
Provide 20 hours of training to foster families
Conduct home-study evaluations and walks through the application process with each of our families
Work with the Guatemalan government to officially accredit families
Work with child protective services to place and match kids with foster families
Provide psychological support and accountability to both the child and the family post-placement
Work towards a permanent solution for the child (ie; reunification or adoption)
