💙 Did you know that nearly one-third of children in foster care have a disability?
These children often face even greater challenges within the system. Finding placements for foster children with disabilities is especially difficult, as few families feel equipped or supported to meet their complex needs.
Unfortunately, many state foster care systems still fall short when it comes to addressing these unique challenges.
As followers of Christ, we’re called to use our gifts to support foster children (and all children) with disabilities. On this National Foster Care Day, let’s pray that God would place these precious children in loving families where they can truly thrive. 🙏
