Children and families

Last month, our Uniting Hope team had an incredible experience at the CAFO Summit in Atlanta! 🙌 We each had the opportunity to attend breakout sessions tailored to our specific roles, gaining new insight and tools to better serve children and families. We were also deeply encouraged in the general sessions to continue pursuing the work of foster care with excellence, compassion, and hope. We are grateful for opportunities like this that strengthen our team and help us serve even better. 💙 #UnitingHope #CAFOSummit #FosterCare

What a night! 🎪🎡 It has been a little over a month since our 2026 Gala brought together 200+ guests, 14 incredible sponsors, and a community committed to bringing hope to children and families navigating foster care. Together, we surpassed our fundraising goal, fueling Uniting Hope’s ability to serve more children and families. We are so deeply grateful to everyone who made this night possible. Take a look back at an unforgettable evening! 💙 #UnitingHope #UnitingHopeGala2026 #FosterCare

For more than 10 years, the Moore family and the Bushway family have been saying “yes” to children and families impacted by foster care, together. ❤️ The Moores opened their home as a foster family, while the Bushways came alongside them as a respite family. We first shared their story at our Uniting Hope Gala in September, and we’re excited to share it with you now. Thank you, Moores and Bushways, for over a decade of faithfully showing up. Hope grows when we serve together. 💙 #UnitingHope #FosterCare #RespiteCare

A night full of laughter, beauty, celebration, and so much HOPE. ✨ Our “Night at the Fair” was certainly a lot of fun, but underneath all the lights, games, treats, and joy was something even more meaningful: a community coming together for children and families. Every photo holds a little piece of the night, but the real story is what happens beyond the gala. It’s foster families saying yes. It’s children finding safety and belonging. It’s churches stepping into the story. It’s supporters giving generously and reminding us that this work matters. We are so grateful for everyone who made this night possible and for the many ways you continue to stand with Uniting Hope. What a gift to celebrate the work God is doing through this community. 🎪🎟️🎩🤹🏽‍♂️

A BIG thank you to the @truetts_chickfila_grayson team for partnering with us for National Nonprofit Day by hosting a diaper drive to support the children and families we serve! ❤️ We are so grateful to everyone in the community who donated and helped fill the diaper collection with much-needed supplies. Your generosity makes a real difference! Everyone can do something to support kids and families impacted by foster care. Maybe it’s donating diapers, volunteering your time, opening your home, making a financial gift, or simply sharing the mission. It all matters.🫶 Thank you, Truetts Chick-fil-A Grayson, for helping bring our community together to care for kids and families! 🐮❤️ #NationalNonprofitDay #UnitingHope #FosterCare #SupportKidsAndFamilies #CommunityPartners ItTakesAVillage

Thank you, First Baptist Church Monroe! 🤍 Robin and Laura had the privilege of speaking with 1st–6th grade students during the Missions Rotation of VBS about the ministry of Uniting Hope and what hope looks like in tangible ways, like collecting diapers, wipes, and books, planning special events for foster families, and being a friend who says, “Sit by me.” The students put their compassion into action by collecting diapers and wipes for our resource room, creating encouraging cards for children in foster care, and giving a mission offering to support our ministry. We are so grateful for their generosity and for the opportunity to share how even small acts of kindness can make a big difference in the lives of children and families. #UnitingHope #FosterCare #HopeInAction #ChurchPartnership #VBS

At Uniting Hope, we are privileged to walk the kids in our care home, wherever that journey leads. While every foster care story is different and not every journey ends in adoption, we are thrilled to celebrate with the Irby Family on their adoption that took place earlier this year! “These two beautiful kiddos bless us daily. When we started our fostering journey, we had no idea we would end up with a forever family. Oakley and Jacob are so special to us.” Thank you for saying “yes” to foster care! ❤️ #UnitingHope #Adoption #FosterCare

🎡✨ What a night! Thank you to everyone who made the Uniting Hope Gala so special and so successful!

Listen to Hailee share about how, in TBRI (Trust-Based Relational Intervention), attachment is key. The attachment cycle is built through repeated moments of connection between a caregiver and child…when needs are expressed, met with care, and followed by felt safety. Over time, this consistent response helps rebuild trust and strengthen relationships. For kids in foster care or from hard places, behavior is often communication. TBRI helps us look beyond behavior and focus on connection as the foundation for healing. 🩵 #TBRI #TrustBasedRelationalIntervention #Attachment#FosterCareAwareness #GetYourHopesUp
