We are wrapping up our Fostering the Upstate spotlight series with today’s highlight: Known & Loved 💛

offers education and support that facilitates relational connection for individuals, families, and communities. Through an attachment-based neuroscience approach, their goal is to promote felt safety, connection, and regulation, providing therapeutic programs that utilize Trust-Based Relational Intervention.

Recently an adopted parent that completed a program said, “This is the only thing we have tried that has made a lasting difference in our family.”

Known & Loved was founded by Parkside Pediatrics out of a desire to meet needs and help families heal in the Upstate. They still serve primarily within the Upstate but offer services state-wide with several virtual options for classes and programs.

To view all upcoming trainings, learn more about their story, or volunteer as a buddy at their upcoming “Pieces of Me” TBRI camp, visit knownloved.org/register

Next in our Community Spotlight series is our friends: Fostering the Family 🧡

At Fostering The Family, their vision is to make a lasting difference in the lives of vulnerable children. The way they do that is by igniting churches and communities to support foster, adoptive and kinship families.

Their wrap-around care model empowers the local body of believers to step in and support these families through meeting various needs. In affiliation with Promise 686, Fostering the Family steps in to help churches care for the vulnerable children in their own backyard.

Fostering the Family began here in the Upstate and now serves 15 counties between here and the Midlands. They also host support groups and community events, spreads awareness, and lead an annual prayer walk in our capitol city (view image above). Adoption Helpers is even involved with their Greenville support group!

It’s our final week of Fostering the Upstate campaign, and today we’re spotlighting: A Home For Me 🛏️

is a wrap-around support system to provide for vulnerable families and those that care for them. Primarily serving the Upstate but with a presence state-wide, A Home For Me is helping connect resources to those in need, with a special focus on kinship families and teens aging out of foster care.

Their “Connecting SC” initiative helps connect tangible resources to needs as they arise. Their “Journey Camp” over the summer is rooted in TBRI (Trust-Based Relational Intervention) to help kids from hard places feel safe and regulated. They offer services to teens aging out of care and to DSS caseworkers.

Their desire is to provide comprehensive resources and meaningful support to vulnerable families while empowering every child they serve to grow, thrive, and reach their full potential.

Introducing today’s spotlight for Fostering the Upstate: Pour Out Project 🫗

is a nonprofit that exists to serve and strengthen other nonprofits. They create a network of support and resources for smaller nonprofits serving the Upstate, allowing each organization to focus more fully on the cause they exist for.

Through our monthly one-on-meetings, connecting us to additional resources, and taking certain operational tasks off our plate, Pour Out Project steps in to empower and strengthen each individual nonprofit and it’s leaders in order to multiply their impact in our community.

Their network of 28 nonprofits represent a variety of services offered, including crisis support, education, wellness, and family services. Adoption Helpers is one of three nonprofits in their network specifically serving the foster/adoptive realm (though many serve vulnerable children and families in other ways), and their support has helped us multiply the reach to foster, adoptive, and kinship families in our area.
(Read an Impact Story shared in the comments!)

Being part of the Pour Out Project network means being a part of something bigger—a collective of nonprofits across the Upstate that are serving people, sharing the love of Jesus, and making a difference in our community.

This Fostering the Upstate community spotlight campaign wouldn’t be complete without highlighting the one and only Miracle Hill Ministries ✝️

is a faith-based child placement agency serving across the Upstate. They recruit and license new foster families as well as offer training, resources, and support. They also have a foster care village in Pickens County.

One unique part of their ministry—and of the greater foster care scene—is service to the biological families as well as to the foster families. This piece is vitally important to the system as a whole: to help support the biological parents so that reunification can be possible. Through their Family Ministry Center, they are making an effort to help support reunification by strengthening the biological parents.

Well known for their shelters, thrift stores, and recovery programs as well as their foster care ministry, Miracle Hill brings the love of the gospel to the Upstate by meeting a myriad of needs. Fun Fact: They are the largest and most comprehensive provider of foster care and services in our region!
We are gratful for their amazing impact in our community.

For today’s Fostering the Upstate spotlight, we are highlighting a brand new organization in our community: Honeybee Tree 🐝

exists to support children and families navigating hard seasons, specifically foster care and medical challenges. They focus on creating meaningful connection through simple, tangible ways to show up for these families. This includes care boxes, support groups, community events, and partnerships with other organizations. Their goal is to meet real needs while helping families feel seen, supported, and not alone.

Through their Support Hives, they are creating spaces for caregivers to enjoy rest, support, and understanding in a community that understands the challenges of raising a child through a traumatic experience.

As a new nonprofit, they are currently building partnerships and looking for ways to support families in real, practical ways. Opportunities to get involved with them include donating items for care boxes, helping connect families who could benefit from their support, and partnering with local organizations already serving children in hard situations. They are growing their swarm of support and care for families in the midst of hard seasons, and we are excited to see the ways Honeybee Tree continues to grow and serve in our Upstate community.

To learn more about their service or be part of a Support Hive, visit honeybeetree.org 💛

Today’s Fostering the Upstate Spotlight is a place that’s become well-known and well-loved in Greenville county: the Isaiah117 House 🏠

exists to change the way foster care begins. For kids who are removed from their homes and awaiting long term foster or kinship placement, or if they’ve had a disrupted placement, the Isaiah117 house provides a place of safety and comfort on one of the hardest days of these children’s lives.
At this house, kids are met with food, new belongings, kind volunteers, and a clean comfortable home to rest and be cared for on removal day. It gives kids comfort in the moment, while also supporting their caseworkers and easing the transition for foster families. This home in Greenville county became the 40th Isaiah House to open it’s doors!

These guests stay at the Isaiah117 House until a long term home is found for them. When they go, they do not leave empty-handed: from clothes to a duffel bag to a stuffed animal to personal care products, they get to keep everything they’ll need to make the smooth transition to their new home. Even more than that, they leave knowing they are seen and cared for.

The Isaiah117 house is always looking for more volunteers to serve in the home as well as partners who donate these care items. To learn more, visit [email protected]. Read below for an Impact Story!

To get Week 3 of our Fostering the Upstate Spotlight Series rolling, we are introducing Middle Tyger Community Center 🌳

is a resource center in Spartanburg county, offering holistic resources and integrated support services. They empower individuals and families to break the cycle of generational poverty and move toward stability.

MTCC is the kinship care navigation program for the Upstate in collaboration with DSS. Kinship care is an important piece of the foster care system where kids are placed with a family member or close friend instead of in traditional foster care. MTCC is an amazing resource that supports this demographic, helping kinship caregivers navigate the unique challenges and opportunities of the system.

They also have a childcare center, food pantry, and offer counseling and adult education (GED, adult literacy classes, etc).

We are grateful for the service of Middle Tyger Community Center and the support they offer to the people of Spartanburg county and the Upstate!
