When it comes to foster care, we recognize the need for safety, guidance, and love for children, but we often neglect the same needs for biological parents.
The overarching aim of foster care is family reunification (when safe to do so). The purpose of foster care is ultimately redemption and restoration of what has been broken.
Jesus loves and values children, but Jesus also loves and values broken people. Jesus loves you and me.
And if we want to be like Christ, that means working for the good of innocent children and the healing of their parents.
This doesn't always work out, and sometimes reunification isn't possible. Yet, we trust that God works for the good of those He loves---including, and especially, children.
May we be His hands and feet.
