Thank you Wenger Foundation for making us a part of another wonderful Praise Dinner! It is always a wonderful night to see community come together in support of worthwhile causes and charities. The funds raised for our Counseling department are vital to the care we provide with the COBYS Difference. Extra thank you to all who continue to support through this amazing event. More than $27,000 has been raised for COBYS!

May is National Foster Care month, and all month long we’ve been celebrating the amazing kids and families we serve, while highlighting the need for more families to consider being a foster family.

Since July 1, 2025, COBYS has provided 16 adoption finalizations. Some of these families have been foster families through COBYS, others served by different community resources. All these families have received adoption finalization services provided with serving hands and caring hearts. To date, COBYS has finalized more than 710 adoptions. If you or a family you know are interested in becoming a COBYS foster family, complete the inquiry form, https://cobys.org/foster-care/request-information/ or contact [email protected].

We had the privilege of chatting with Mike Lausch, the Executive Director of COBYS Family Services as we continue to recognize National Foster Care Month this May.

Mike and his team are doing amazing things for foster children and families and invite you to pray with them as they continue their mission.

The care provided at COBYS doesn’t happen without collaboration. Collaboration between our staff, between our organization and the community. In our spring, Fostering Hope newsletter, we highlight FIVE things we do together because we know that hope happens with a strong COBYS Community. It’s a quick read, view at
