About Foster Care in East Texas
- There are more than 2,000 children in foster care in just the East Texas area.
- There are fewer than 600 foster families.
- We know many children in our community are not receiving the love they need.
- If 10% of churches in each county will get involved in foster care, then our community can provide more than enough:
- Foster and kinship families
- Adoptive families for every child waiting for adoption
- Help for biological families trying to stabilize and reunify
- Wrap-around support from the church for foster, kinship, adoptive and biological families
Alberto’s story:
“At first, I was worried. Maybe I wouldn’t get a chance. I’ve been in foster care for four years and it was sad, lonely, and frustrating. I thought it was my fault and that I’d never get a second chance with the family. There’s always going to be a cycle of something that might happen. But there’s a way to break out of that and that’s Jesus.”
