Weary? Exhausted? Overwhelmed? Discouraged?

We hear you. We have heard from a lot of foster and adoptive moms over the last few months that are all of the above. Maybe you are too. Maybe you're dealing with grief over the end of a placement. Or exhaustion from ongoing sleep deprivation. Or discouraged be patterns of behavior. Whatever state you find yourself in, we have designed a special night just for foster and adoptive moms.

On Friday, October 23, we will host a dinner at Briarwood Baptist Church. Sarah McIlvenna of Restoration Waters Counseling will give us all some helpful tips for identifying our emotions and practical tools, ideas, and resources to help process emotions in day-to-day life and identify self-care rhythms that truly support wholeness, healing, and growth.

Don't miss out on this night of rest, hope, and encouragement (plus dinner, free childcare, and GIVEAWAYS)! Register today!

At CFLM, we believe that EVERYONE can do something. Maybe you can adopt Cameron or another child like him currently waiting for the love, support, and attachment of a forever family.

But maybe adoption isn’t right for you. Maybe one of the ways you can support kids in care is as simple as sharing Cameron’s video.
