The focus of Forever Families is to connect, encourage and equip adoptive and foster families. Forever Families encourages others to experience the miracle of adoption and seeks to minister to those children who have not found their forever families yet.

Legacy of Connection
Saturday, February 3, 2018.
Children who come into families through adoption or foster care have all experienced relationship based trauma which can disrupt healthy development, adversely affect relationships, and contribute to mental health issues. Research and experience has shown adoptive and foster children only experience security and deep healing from relationship based trauma when they become a part of a loving, healthy family.
Forever Families will be hosting a workshop on Saturday, February 3, 2018, for adoptive families, foster families, adoption workers, and others who serve children who have experienced trauma. The goal of this workshop is to enable parents and caregivers to understand and recognize the effects of trauma, and to provide tools to parents and caregivers that help the children that we serve heal.
