Backyard Orphans

Our team trains church leadership to develop a foster care, adoption, and support ministry.

[Backyard Orphans @BackyardOrphans]

As the Church, we are called to care for orphans. However, as the local church, it can be intimidating to know where to start. That's where we come in! Let's start the conversation! Just visit https://t.co/aED7C1gO5P.

Happy Father's Day! Today, we celebrate dads, foster dads, adoptive dads, mentors, coaches, pastors, and father figures who show up, invest in others, and change lives. Tag a father figure who has impacted you and tell them why they matter.

The average child who exits foster care spends nearly 2 years in care. That's 2 years of waiting, uncertainty, and transition. Every child deserves a safe, stable, and supportive family. The need is real, but so is the solution. Learn more at https://t.co/ekeHpy7jXF.

When many people think about foster care, they think about adoption. But in most cases, the goal is reunification. This Reunification Month, we celebrate families working toward restoration. Whenever it is healthy and safe, reunification is the goal. ❤️

Every child deserves a safe place to belong. $200 helps one child find a healing home. Will you help one more child find a healing home? You can give today by going to https://t.co/P8HWQHXeR7.

Imagine waiting five years for a family. More than 13,000 children in foster care have been waiting 5 years or longer to be adopted. The need is real, and the church is the solution. Every child deserves to belong somewhere. Learn more at https://t.co/ZaKc1EnHGp.

117,000 children in foster care are waiting to be adopted in the United States. Not waiting for a system, but waiting for a family. Every child deserves a healing home. The Church has an opportunity to step up. Take your next step today at https://t.co/qDNofy5XfP.

Today we honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives for our freedom. May we never forget their sacrifice or the families who carry their memory every day. ���🇸

Mental health matters in foster care and adoption.

Many vulnerable children carry deep trauma. Healing takes time, and foster and adoptive families need support along the way.

Join us in praying for vulnerable children and families today. ❤️

Nearly 60% of children enter foster care due to neglect.

Many families are not lacking love. They are lacking support.

One act of support can change everything. We need to step up.
