This Mother’s Day, we celebrate the women who show up with love—no matter how a family is formed 💙

At Thursday’s Child Kentucky, we honor foster moms, adoptive moms, kinship caregivers, and the incredible women who step in when children need them most.

Because being a mother isn’t just about biology—it’s about showing up, loving big, and changing a child’s life forever.

You don’t have to have all the answers—you just have to have heart.

👉 Support a local family

Together, we can make sure every child feels seen, supported, and loved.

About every 96 seconds, a child enters foster care in the U.S. ⏰

This Foster Care Awareness Month, we remember that kids in foster care aren’t just statistics. They are kids who deserve safe families, supportive communities, and a place to truly belong.

You can be part of the solution. When you support Kentucky’s Kids Belong, you’re helping to ensure the vulnerable youth in Kentucky experience life-changing safety and belonging of family. 💙

Every child deserves to feel safe, loved, and supported.

At Thursday’s Child Kentucky, we are committed to walking alongside children in foster care and the families who open their hearts and homes to them. These kids are resilient, brave, and full of potential—and they deserve a community that shows up for them.

Whether you foster, donate, volunteer, or simply help spread the word, you are making a difference. 💛

Meet T’Aire! ✨

T’Aire is a fun-loving teen with a bright smile and a confident spirit. She loves animals (especially dogs!), enjoys getting her nails done or doing them herself, and has fun dressing up and expressing her style.

She stays busy with skating, swimming, board games, video games, and hanging out with friends—especially anywhere with arcade games or laser tag. Art class is her favorite part of school, and her go-to treat is vanilla ice cream with caramel and sprinkles.

T’Aire brings energy, personality, and joy wherever she goes and is ready for a family to cheer her on every step of the way. 💛
