November is National Adoption Month 🏠

There are three types of adoption:

❤️ Private Adoption- an infant's birth parents give legal consent for the child to be adopted by a family through an adoption agency
❤️ International Adoption- a family chooses to adopt a child in need of a permanent family from another country
❤️ Foster Care Adoption- the adoption of a child from the foster care system after the rights of the biological parents have been terminated

While initial circumstances of many of these children can be heartbreaking, all types of adoption of children into their permanent families is a beautiful thing that should be celebrated! 🎉

“Overall, we celebrate National Adoption Month to shine a national spotlight light on adoption. More specifically, we celebrate to:

🎉Honor families that have grown through adoption.
🎉Recognize the hundreds of thousands of children waiting for permanent families.
🎉Spread awareness of adoption.
🎉Advocate for the wellbeing and future of children in foster care.
🎉Encourage our neighborhoods, communities, cities and states to take a stand.
🎉Ask our businesses and companies to support adoption.
🎉Provide everyone with the opportunity to get involved.”
-The Adoption Network

We invite you to share your adoption stories or photos in the comments so we can celebrate with you! 🏠🎉

🧩 Restoring Childhood Piece By Piece 🧩

Reunification is the ultimate victory in foster care because it represents healing, restoration, and the beautiful answer to a community’s shared prayers in helping renew a family's hope and future piece by piece. 🫂

In July, our Cook County Chapter served a mom who had worked very hard to get her children back. After completing her case plan successfully, she was reunified with both of her children, and we were so excited to celebrate with her.

🛌🏼She needed help securing beds and bedding for them to come home to, which we provided to her, along with clothing bags and journey bags that included Bibles. She was so thankful for everything. She continuously said that it was all the biggest blessing and the kids were so happy!

"Seeing how thankful she was, and talking with her about how hard she worked to be reunified with her children filled my heart with so much joy. This is one of the reasons I love this ministry. Jesus is so faithful to provide donors so that we can make these types of things happen for people. Being the hands and feet of Jesus can be challenging, but we are thankful for a community that continues to partner with us." -Macey Mróz, Cook County Liaison

🫱🏼‍🫲🏾 It takes an entire community to rebuild what has been broken. When a child enters foster care, their world often shatters into pieces. No single person can restore it alone, but together, we can bring wholeness back to their lives.

💛 Every child deserves a childhood filled with safety, joy, and unconditional support. You are a vital piece of that puzzle. Whether you provide a bed for a child to sleep on, become a monthly donor, or lift these families up in prayer, your unique contribution fits together with others to create a beautiful picture of hope.

Here is how you can help us restore childhood piece by piece today:

🧩Give: Your financial gifts fund critical resources for foster families.
🧩Donate: Provide essential items like brand-new bedding, comfort items, and clothing.
🧩Share: Spread the word so others can find their place in this mission.

🧩 Restoring Childhood Piece By Piece 🧩

Sometimes, one person saying “YES” can inspire an entire family to open their hearts and their homes. 🏠

Today we want to celebrate an incredible foster mom who has gone above and beyond for children in her own family. She first opened her home to three children belonging to her cousin and his girlfriend. She adopted the two younger children, including a precious newborn who came directly from the hospital, and she was given guardianship of the oldest.

💓 She didn't just open her home, she opened her heart and made sure these children had a safe, loving and stable place to call home. But her story didn't stop there! Recently, she opened her home once again and is now fostering two more boys.

Watching her love and dedication has also inspired her sister to open her home, and she is now fostering two girls. What an inspiration! 🥰

💟 This family is just one of the hundreds that we serve each year. Would you consider sponsoring a child in foster care?

The cost is 💲2️⃣5️⃣ a month, which is 💲3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ a year.
