Our Faithful Promises
We promise that no obstacle will stop our quest for a child’s permanent home.
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.” Proverbs 31:8
Imagine being a foster parent, days away from officially adopting the foster child you’ve cared for for seven years, but the process comes to a halt due to the pandemic.
That was a reality for a foster family in Springfield as they worked to adopt a 14-year-old boy. When the steps narrowed, they were told their adoption was going on hold due to COVID-19.
This was not acceptable, and the family needed our support. Our foster care case manager was able to work with the courts to move the final stages forward. With a flooding of joy, the adoption was finalized virtually on April 3, 2020.
The young man finally has permanency and a family to call his own.
