IT'S BLESSED HOPE FAMILY'S BIRTHDAY!

Fifteen years ago, Blessed Hope Family began when Leah and Meadow were new adoptive moms searching for the company of like-minded parents. What started as a simple “let’s get together and share life as adoptive parents” has grown into a community centered on learning, encouragement, growth, and supporting one another through the fostering and adoption journey.

Enjoy this photo of Leah and Meadow with their first adoptions!

SPOTLIGHT on a BHF FOSTER FAMILY!
Meet the Sherberts! They have fostered over 70 kids since opening their home in 2017. Here's what they have to say about it:

👉🏽What is a struggle most people wouldn’t know about foster parents?
The emotional whiplash of loving kids like they’re yours while knowing you might have to say goodbye at any time. It’s joy and heartbreak sometimes in the same breath.
And on a very practical level… keeping bedding, towels, and somehow even spoons in the house. (Seriously. Where do they go?! We believe there’s a spoon heaven somewhere.)

👉🏽What does success in fostering look like to you?
Success isn’t about keeping a child forever. It’s when a child feels safe, seen, and deeply loved while they’re with us.
It’s when healing starts — for kids and families — and when a child leaves knowing: “I’m still loved, and I still have people.”
And honestly, success is knowing God held all of it when we couldn’t.

👉🏽What surprised you most about yourself through fostering?
That we are more broken than we ever realized… and somehow still being used by God anyway. Also that God gives strength we didn’t know we had — not because we’re strong, but because He is.

👉🏽What is something that someone has done for you that has helped you or encouraged you on your journey?
The church. Always the church.
Meals, prayers, showing up when we were exhausted, and reminding us we’re not doing this alone. And going to RE (a conference) and meeting other foster families who get it — that alone felt like God saying, “See? You’re not crazy. You’re not alone.”

👉🏽What would you say to someone considering becoming a foster family?
Honestly? Pray about it. Then hold on tight. It will stretch you, break you, rebuild you, and absolutely humble you. But God shows up in it in ways you cannot imagine.
So don’t go because you feel ready — go because God is big enough to carry what you can’t.

Adoptive parenting is so much more than the “just add love” idea—it calls for showing up in ways you may have never expected. 💛

Here are some of the skills it often takes. What would you add?

Becoming a foster parent has a way of unlocking strengths and skills you didn’t even know you had.

The last Sip&Share of the spring semester is going to be SO GOOD! Join us as Greg presents his research on "Why are Adoptive Moms the Target Of Their Child’s Woundedness?"

Of course we'll have all the coffee, cookies and camaraderie you need! If you also need childcare, please message [email protected].

Love this verse that always reminds me that God loves our kids so much more than we do! Their hard layers grieve Him too and he uses us to promote the healing they deserve.
Do you have a favorite verse that reminds you of foster care or adoption?
