FaithBridge Foster Care, Inc.
The largest Georgia-based, Christ-centered child-placing agency. We provide foster care & adoption services.
With roughly 1,600 children waiting for adoptive homes each year and more than 11,000 children in foster care in Georgia, we believe the answer to this crisis is the church.
We partner with local churches to help raise and license adoptive, foster, and respite families. A Christ-centered foster care and adoptive ministry allows churches to care for vulnerable children and their families and provides a way to support foster and adoptive families.
More than 60 million evangelical Christians are participating in over 300,000 churches nationwide. This provides an incredible opportunity to engage in foster care and adoption. With its existing infrastructure and caring congregants, each local church and its community of believers can be the solution to the local foster care problem.

Requirements to become a foster parent
The DHS assists foster families with placement and ensures the child adjusts well to their new environment. Whether you have years of parenting experience or are relatively new to the idea, they have many support options for families. You can find plenty of information on the DHS/DFCS website or call them for more assistance.
Your local licensed child placement agency also places children in the foster system with carefully matched parents. Although foster care is temporary, it's crucial to find the right fit. That's why parents get a say in age range and gender.
There are also many state support groups for foster families that provide educational resources, services, and more. Connecting with these organizations and adding to your personal support network will be invaluable.
One of the best ways to become a better parent, whether you plan on fostering a child short-term or adopting, is to read as much as you can about Georgia's foster system. For instance, recently proposed bills would help to streamline parts of the state's foster care placement system.
You can find plenty of information available online for free as well. Blogs, podcasts, and videos are all incredibly useful ways to obtain new information about fostering.

I feel so fortunate to work with such talented servants who help children experience the love of Jesus within a Christian home.

We have been fostering through FaithBridge for over 3 years now and absolutely LOVE this organization! Their love and support for foster families is truly amazing! They truly love the children who are in foster care and have their best interests at heart. It pains me to see any negative reviews because I’ve seen the heart of this organization and they truly seek to serve the Lord in all they say and do. I am so thankful that they are so thorough in training and equipping foster families for service. Fostering is not for everyone and it should never be taken lightly. It is a call from God and what God calls us to, he will also equip us for. The enemy is there always to “seek, steal, and destroy” God’s work and so fostering is hard but what a huge blessing to those serving and the many children who are being served. We are so thankful for FaithBridge and all the hard work they do in standing firm in serving the Lord!❤️

We absolutely love Faithbridge and truly believe we wouldn’t foster without their support and genuine care for children and foster families. The consultants are a godsend and help with every little detail so you don’t have to. It’s been a dream working with them. It’s the reason we keep fostering, honestly. They keep us coming back! We’ve been with them for 6 years now. Highly recommend!! 🙌🏼 If you’re considering fostering, reaching out to them is a great place to start!

Our family has fostered through FaithBridge since 2020 and for our current placement of going on 2.5 years, we have had the privilege of working with the same FB consultant the entire time. Ms. Jackson has been phenomenal and I can only assume she is a product of the organization at large. Over the last several years she has fielded uncountable questions, explained court lingo, allowed us space to vent, encouraged us, and most importantly, is committed, compassionate, and fully engaged in our child's case. Her guidance, wisdom, and support are paramount in helping us sustain and continue to advocate for these young lives.
