Backyard Orphans

Backyard Orphans We guide church leaders to develop a foster care, adoption, or orphan care ministry.

We envision a day where there are more families waiting on children than children waiting on families!

05/29/2026

As Foster Care Awareness Month comes to an end, the need and mission do not.

Children will still enter into foster care. Foster families will continue to need support. Churches will still have opportunities to step into the gap tomorrow.

Awareness is important, but action changes lives.

Let's not leave foster care awareness behind when the calendar turns to June. Take the next step today by going to https://hubs.la/Q04jdSHH0.

Right now, about 117,000 children in foster care are waiting to be adopted in the United States.

Not waiting for a system.
Waiting for a family.
Waiting for someone to say yes.

Every child deserves the safety, stability, and love of a healing home. The Church has an opportunity to step into that need through foster care, adoption, support, mentoring, prayer, and advocacy.

What is your next step?
Maybe it is fostering.
Maybe it is adoption.
Maybe it is supporting a foster family, mentoring a child, or simply learning more about the need.

But everyone can do something.

Today, we remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Their sacrifice reminds us of the cost of freedom and the importance of living with gratitude, compassion, and purpose.

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember those who never made it home and we pray for the families who carry their memory every day. 🇺🇸

Mental health is an important part of the conversation around foster care and adoption.

Many vulnerable children carry trauma long before they ever enter a safe and loving home. Healing does not happen overnight, and foster and adoptive families need support as they walk alongside children through that journey.

Scripture reminds us in Galatians 6:2 to “carry each other’s burdens,” and that is exactly what the Church has the opportunity to do. Through prayer, encouragement, practical support, and consistent love, we can help children and families experience hope and healing.❤️

Today, we encourage you to pray for vulnerable children, foster families, adoptive families, and the professionals walking alongside them every day.

Sometimes people wonder if their gift really makes a difference.

It does.

Through church engagement, training, and support, every $200 given helps one child move closer to a healing home.

Not just a statistic.

A child.
A story.
A future changed.

The need is big, but so is the opportunity for the Church to respond.

Nearly 60% of children enter foster care due to neglect.

Often, neglect does not begin with parents who do not love their children.
It begins with families in crisis and no one around to help carry the burden.

Parents overwhelmed.
Families isolated.
Basic needs unmet.

No support system stepping in before things fall apart.
This is why the Church cannot stay on the sidelines.

Children deserve safe and loving homes.
Families deserve support and hope.
And the Church can help provide both.

Sometimes one act of support can change the future of an entire family.

Today we celebrate the women who mother in every way.

Those who gave life.
Those who chose adoption.
Those who stepped into fostering.

And those who pour into others with wisdom and love.
You are shaping stories that will last for generations.

Through quiet prayers.
Through everyday moments.
Through love that keeps showing up.

Happy Mother’s Day!
You are seen, valued, and deeply appreciated.

Right now, thousands of children are waiting.

Waiting for a home.
Waiting for consistency.
Waiting for someone to say, “You belong.”

Some will wait months.
Some will wait years.

But it doesn’t have to stay that way.
Because when the Church steps in, waiting turns into belonging.

$200 helps connect one child to a healing home. 💛

You can be part of changing a child’s story today.
