Christian Family Care Agency, Inc.
Children are placed in foster care because their homes are unsafe for them—and right now, there are nearly 12,014 of these boys and girls in Arizona. With numbers so large, it’s easy to forget that each one of them is uniquely made in God’s image, with their dreams. Tragically, many will never achieve their best hopes. A full 20% will be homeless when they age out of foster care at 18. Even more, will experience PTSD from the sheer trauma of their childhoods.
These are wounds that leave deep, lasting scars. But Christian families who open their hearts and homes to these children are not only allowing them to heal from abuse or neglect. They’re also living their faith and sharing God’s redeeming love in word and deed with young people who desperately need to hear the Good News.

I don't have the words to describe the level of care, love, and overall experience that i received through Christian Family Care. They handle every angle on both sides to create such a wonderful and amazing bound between both adoptive parents and those who have the heart renching descion to place a child into the loving arms of another. If it were for Christian Family Care i fully believe that i wouldn't have the experice i did. I truly know that God placed this orginzation infront of me so that i could live a full life afterwards knowing that i with 100 percent assurance that i was doing the right thing. I have been SOO very blessed to have worked with the most amazing pregnancy counselor Ruth Garnett who was there in those very sad and lonely moments in the hospital, giving nothing but encouraging and honest words. Never once did i feel like i was getting pushed to decide one way or another, in fact i was having to reassure them that i knew my decision before i even contacted them. The amazing parents who hold their son today, as also so very very thankful for the care and love they recieved from Christian Family Care. We speak often and have a very amazing and wonderful relationship that includes me loving that sweet little baby from afar. I wish i was able to spread the word to more young women who have found theirselfs in the situation like mine that there is hope, and its a bright one. That through Christian Family Care, you will recieve love and compassion understanding and someone who will walk by your side each step of the way. They are very understand and will be as invovled as you would like. You are able to really connect with the family that are being able to bless, and that alone is a blessing.
