Robin Freeman, Foster Mom, Mt. Bethel UMC Community of Care
There are too many children in unstable environments, moving
from home to home, being separated from their siblings and feeling
lost in a system they don't understand.
Providing a quality home to a needy child ensures that child has
the love, stability and support needed to thrive. If you have
considered becoming a foster parent but are unsure of the decision
or the process, FaithBridge Foster Care can help.
Becoming a foster family is a life-changing experience - one that
can open your heart in ways that are difficult to foresee. But we
also recognize that this is a tremendous commitment and there may
be uncertainty. As you pray for guidance during this process,
FaithBridge Foster Care wants you to consider what we provide for
you:
Support system
Our Community of
CareSM ensures that you have the support and
resources you need to be a successful foster parent. If a child
comes into your home needing clothes, toys or a crib, the Community
of Care helps you find them. When you need someone to watch the
children or drive them to an appointment, the Community of Care
provides babysitting or transportation services. When you just need
someone to talk to who understands the challenges and demands, the
Community of Care provides emotional and spiritual support.
Whenever you need them, the Community of Care is there for you.
Dedicated 24/7 counselor
FaithBridge Foster Care provides you with a dedicated point of
contact who is available 24/7 and who handles all communication
with DFCS and government agencies. This frees you to focus on your
most important responsibility - loving and nurturing the child(ren)
in your care.
Training and certification
We facilitate the entire foster family certification and
training program, including application, initial training and
continuing education, through your church. Our streamlined process,
which includes a combination of instructor-led training, online
learning and weekend retreats, keeps you on track and helps you
complete the process faster.
