If you have been asking yourself this question and realize you can’t help them all, but are considering helping one, think of the difference you can make adopting a child out of foster care. Adopting a child or children in the system has the potential to affect the lives of not just those children, but generations to come. By providing a safe and secure family environment that is free of abuse, the child or children you adopt have the opportunity to learn what a stable family is. Hopefully, the seeds you plant by adopting and modeling a healthy home will take root and your adoptive children will be able to provide the same love, safety and security that they received to their own family.
