Check out the 👉🏼 @sendrelief 👈🏼 ‘gram today and you just might find #cattpartyoftwo! Read about the three most important things we’ve needed as we do this foster care thing, and you’ll even find more info on our church’s foster care ministry, WeFoster! Be sure to give @sendrelief a follow while you’re over there too. 💙 — #fosterlove #fostermom #fostercare #wefoster #sendrelief #nationalfostercaremonth

I got to spend a little time with Malachi and @kimwoot today. So many people are bombarding Heaven on their behalf, and we are believing that The Great Physician will work all things for their good and His glory. As they walk through this, please continue to check @rogerjrussell’s account for specific, timely prayer requests. #CHOA #PrayforMalachi #Romans828 #Testify #cancerstinks

This morning may not have started out with breakfast in bed (more like me standing in the kitchen eating Cheerios #singlemomlife), but I got to spend the day with this kiddo and @erinbethea and @drewwaters13 at one of my favorite places. I’d say that’s a pretty great first Mother’s Day! 💐💙☀️ — #cattpartyoftwo #fosterlove #fostercare #fostermom #wefoster #mercierorchards #blueridgemountains #mothersday #myfirstmothersday

3 months together calls for a breakfast date with Aunt E, story time at the cutest local bookstore AND a pool day! ☀️(We’re not sure if we’ll be together for the 4 monthiversary, so we’re gonna do all the fun stuff we can now!) 💙 — #cattpartyoftwo #fosterlove #fostercare #wefoster #fostermom #NationalFosterCareMonth #myfirstmothersday

This morning I had to wake this kiddo up with some disappointing news. Something he had prayed about for a long time last night didn’t happen... but he took it like a champ. Better than I did, honestly. If I’ve learned anything on this #fostercare journey, it’s that these kids are much stronger and more adaptable than I expected them to be. 🖤 #cattpartyoftwo #fosterlove #wefoster #fostermom #dfcs #NationalFosterCareMonth

This is #NationalFosterCareMonth. Want to know more about foster care? Feel free to reach out. I would be happy to answer any questions you have! In the meantime, here are some facts and stats for ya: * Children in foster care experience trauma that can lead to PTSD and mental health issues later in life without proper therapy and counseling. * About 25% of youth in foster care experience homelessness within four years of leaving the system. * Former foster youth are much more likely than the general population to commit a crime (males 4x more likely; females 10x more likely). * Children enter foster care primarily due to neglect and abuse; they are not considered orphans. * A child’s trauma didn’t happen overnight and the healing won’t either. * The goal of foster care is reunification, not adoption. Preparing the children and the biological parents (when able) for this is key. * Every foster family needs other families surrounding and supporting them. * There are over 400,000 children in foster care. 15,000+ in Georgia alone. While you are not able to minister to all, you can start with one. You don’t have to be a foster parent, but we can all do something. Become a respite home. Start a foster care “pod” at your church and fill it with clothes, toys and supplies for kids coming into the system. Create a meal train for new placements. Walk into your local DFCS Office and ask how you can serve them. What’s stopping you?
