Just popping in for a soft little reminder this weekend… there are still children waiting for someone to open their heart and home. Foster parenting isn’t always easy, but it can mean everything to a child who needs somewhere safe to belong.

Someday you could be sitting around the dinner table with a child who needed you because a foster care agency in Indiana refused to let you enjoy Facebook peacefully.
We regret nothing.💁

If a child arrived at your home tonight...

What would you want them to find?

A cozy blanket?
A favorite snack?
A nightlight?
A stuffed animal?
A note that says, "We're glad you're here."

Preparing for a placement isn't just about having the right supplies.

It's about creating a place where a child can finally take a deep breath.

What's one item you think every foster family should keep on hand?

👇 We'd love to hear your ideas.

The people who become foster parents rarely describe themselves as extraordinary.

They're teachers.
Truck drivers.
Nurses.
Factory workers.
Small business owners.
Retirees.
Young couples.
Single parents.
Neighbors.

They still get tired.
They still forget things at the grocery store.
They still wonder if they're doing enough.

The difference isn't that they're perfect.

It's that when a child needed someone, they chose to show up.

Changing a life doesn't always begin with having all the answers.

Sometimes it begins with simply saying,
"There's room for one more at our table."

And that simple decision can become part of a child's favorite memory.
