Foster Serve

05/12/2026

God created His Church to be His hands and feet—to care for one another, carry burdens, and serve the vulnerable.

Right now, children in foster care need us. When even newborn babies are waiting in shelters because there are not enough foster homes I can’t help but wonder: where are we?

Our Heavenly Father has given us so much. He did not place us here to live comfortable, self-focused lives. He called us to love, sacrifice, and serve.

Not everyone is called to be a foster parent, but every one of us can do something. We can support foster families. We can provide meals, supplies, respite, encouragement, advocacy, or even biological parent support. We can show up.

Let’s serve.

If you feel even a small tug on your heart, please reach out. I would love to answer questions, share what I know, and help you find a way to support the foster care community.

May is National Foster Care Month, and there are simple ways to show support all month long.

You can donate to or volunteer with local Texas organizations like Texas CASA, Carrying Hope, Pop-Up Birthday, Embrace Texas, Love Fosters Hope, and Foster Kids Charity. You can also support businesses that give back — including Wendy’s, which has supported foster care adoption through campaigns benefiting the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption and Wendy’s Wonderful Kids.

Whether it’s rounding up at checkout, scanning a donation code, purchasing wishlist items, volunteering, or sharing awareness, every small action helps children and families impacted by foster care feel seen and supported.

This May, let’s choose to support, strengthen, and empower foster care communities.

One of the hardest things about foster parenting is that you never really know whether you’ll hear from the children who leave your home to be reunited with family or adopted.

Yesterday, I got an email from the adoptive parent of our first placement, and it meant so much to me. Hearing that the boys are thriving brought me so much joy. One of the most beautiful parts of foster parenting is getting to witness the transformation that can happen when children are surrounded by love, stability, and support.

The truth is, not every child in foster care gets that chance right away, because there is such a great need for more foster families. Foster parents truly can make a lifelong impact, not only by caring for children in the moment, but by building relationships that can continue to matter as they grow.

Please consider becoming a foster parent. These children need more people willing to step in, love them well, and help give them the chance they deserve. Message me if you have questions.

Every child deserves the chance to do normal family things and make sweet childhood memories. 💙

Something as simple as annual bluebonnet pictures can mean so much. For kids in foster care, these moments matter. They say: you belong, you are celebrated, and your story is worth remembering.

And afterward, printing those photos to give to bio mom can be such a meaningful gift. It honors the connection, shares a special moment she may have missed, and reminds everyone that love can still be present in the middle of hard things.

Sometimes “normal” family moments are actually something really powerful. Are you ready to give a foster child some "normal" healthy moments? 🌼📸

They are the absolute best of buddies! Sharing moments like this—the comfort, the love, the connection—this is what fostering is truly all about. It’s hard work, but the joy is just overflowing. We have this little guy’s siblings, too, and seeing them all thriving and loved is a gift we get to experience every single day. 🤍

If you've ever even thought about fostering, please take this as your sign. There is so much joy to be found (and shared). And there is a HUGE need for those willing to foster siblings.

In a sibling group, roles run deep. Here's what to expect.

When kids have been through hard things together, they develop roles — the protector, the peacemaker, the one who acts out so others don't have to.

These roles made sense in survival mode. In your home, they may look like control, aggression, or emotional shutdown.

Understanding sibling dynamics — not just individual behavior — helps you respond to the group as a whole.

Help a sibling group find stability, love, and learn to manage their emotions. There is a HUGE need right now for people willing to welcome siblings sets o 2, 3, 4 or more. Can you help fill the need? Message us with questions. We're here to help.

What's the one thing holding you back from learning more about fostering a sibling group?

Is it time? Space? Fear of attachment? Not knowing where to start?
Drop your honest answer in the comments. We read every one — and we'll respond. No judgment, just conversation.

You don't have to be a perfect parent. You have to be a present one.

Children who've experienced instability don't need flawless parenting. They need someone who shows up.

They need a parent who stays calm when things get loud, who repairs after a hard moment, who doesn't leave.

That's what they've never had. And that is something you can give.

URGENT NEED: There is an influx of sibling groups needing a home while their parents work to better their situation for their children. Message me if you are interested and I can share how to get started and expedite the process.

"We didn't feel ready. Turns out, no one does."

Readiness isn't a feeling you get before you start. It's something you build along the way — with support, training, and one day at a time.

These kids need a loving, stable home. They need you. Ask us how you can be licensed in as little as 60-90 days in Texas.

"I can't take a sibling group — my house isn't big enough."

We hear this a lot. And it's worth talking about honestly.

Children in foster care don't need square footage. They need safety, consistency, and love.

Many families have successfully fostered sibling groups in modest homes. Licensing requirements focus on safe, dedicated sleep space — with a small square footage for that sleeping space.

Ask us how you can get started today and be licensed in as little as 60-90 days in Texas. These brothers and sisters need you.

Siblings placed together heal faster. Here's why.

When children experience trauma, their nervous system goes into survival mode — hypervigilant, on guard, braced for the next hard thing.

A familiar face — a brother, a sister — signals safety in a way even the best foster parent can't replicate right away.

Keeping siblings together isn't just kind. It's trauma-informed. It's science. And it changes outcomes.
