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.

If you're in the greater Atlanta area this is a phenomenal agency to work with. They work hard to support children and families involved in foster care, including foster parents, biological parents, kinship placements and more. They want to see everyone healthy and thriving! You'll notice the illegitimate one-star reviews below that are completely irrelevant to this organization and were a coordinated attack from a group that have no understanding of what Faithbridge is or does. Disregard them.

This is a wonderful organization full of God-fearing employees and volunteers that sacrifice their time and energy to make a real difference in the lives of children who need it.
To all the people that posted the fake reviews - just know Jesus loves you and died for you. We pray one day you will accept him and receive his love and salvation.

I have personally witnessed the genuine heart that this company exhibits. They make prayerful and honest decisions in regards to children’s needs. I personally know the staff and families who have worked closely with them. As a educator, kids are my heart and my life. Faith bridge has a TRUE heart for Jesus and his children.
