At Focus on the Family, we believe every child deserves to know the love of a family. Through our Wait No More events, we’re raising awareness of and recruiting foster, adoptive, and support families for children and youth in foster care. Recognizing the challenges foster and adoptive families can face, we also provide best-in-class post-placement resources for these families. And while not every family is called to foster or adopt, as Christians, we’re all called to care for children in need.
