START A SUPPORT GROUP

GRASSROOTS PARTNERSHIP MODEL

Since 2015, every Embrace Family church connection has started with a small group.
These groups are designed to support current foster, adoptive, and respite families—as well as those exploring involvement. Group participants often come from the host church and surrounding communities, creating a rich and diverse circle of shared experience and encouragement.
It all begins with a key advocate—someone from the church who is passionate about foster care, adoption, or respite. Embrace Family partners closely with this advocate, providing training, resources, and ongoing support to launch a local Embrace Family support group.
Interested in starting a group in your church? We’d love to connect.
