Foster care and adoption hold both grief and joy because they begin with the painful reality of children being separated from their families. While that loss deserves compassion and space to grieve, we can also find joy as foster and adoptive families are being used as part of God’s redemptive plan. As followers of Christ, we can mourn the brokenness that makes foster care and adoption necessary while celebrating the hope and restoration God brings through faithful people who answer the call to care for vulnerable children.
