Our Impact
Foster Family Testimonials
The Christian-based classes with Fostering Our Future offer an enriching experience for individuals interested in becoming foster parents. Having previously fostered for fifteen years as well as co-training traditional MAPP/Pride classes, Fostering Our Future is truly a remarkable approach.
We felt so defeated in the mainstream classes and support systems until we found Fostering Our Future, Julie, Bill, and their team. The classes brought real-life situations and principles, tangible advice, and allowed us to work at our pace with weekly gatherings to connect, share, review, ask questions, and have meaningful discussions.

TRAINING
There is a critical need for licensed foster families who can support vulnerable children in need of placement. Fostering Our Future has created a series of training courses for families, community partners, volunteers, and child welfare professionals to address that gap by providing Biblically-informed and family-centered training content.
