Christian Foster Care: Answering the Call
As Christians, we are called to care for those in need, especially children who need safe, loving homes. Hope's Promise partners with local churches and Christian families to support foster care efforts in Colorado, putting faith into action by serving vulnerable children in our community.
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress..." - James 1:27

Why Christian Foster Care Matters
Every day in Colorado, an average of ten children enter the foster care system. These children need temporary homes where they can experience stability, compassion, and God's love during difficult transitions.
By opening your home as a Christian foster family, you become the hands and feet of Christ to a child in need. Foster care is not just about providing shelter—it's about reflecting God's love and faithfulness to children who have experienced loss, uncertainty, and sometimes trauma. Your home can be a place of healing and hope.

Frequently Asked Questions
Prayerfully consider how God might be calling your family to serve. Not everyone is called to foster, but everyone can support the foster care community in some way.
Attachment is not just natural—it's necessary for a child's healing. Though separation can be painful, providing love and stability, even temporarily, makes an eternal difference in a child's life.
