Thanks for your post and an excellent proposal for churches to become involved in caring for foster children that have no family and desperately need to feel loved, encouraged and special. The church is a "family" and this might be a way for persons to become comfortable and it may touch the hearts of some and they may chose to foster or adopt. A non-threatening way for persons to connect with these precious children and develop relationships, hopefully resulting in some lasting relationships, foster care or adoption. I have not seen this and wonder if foster care agencies have thought of this as a good avenue for support and to gracefully expose the need of these children. By not seeing the children or becoming involved, persons can ignore this need- but when they meet these special children and interact with them and know their need- God may touch their heart to reach out and bring a child into their home to foster or adopt.
Thanks again!
