Previous trauma, financial instability, missing support systems, and a lack of healthy parenting skills create a vulnerable environment for families. A simple problem can compound into a debilitating situation in these vulnerable circumstances. As a result, children may suffer neglect or abuse, with some eventually placed in state custody.
Harbor Families, Foster Care, Families Count™, and Heritage Builders are all Lifeline ministries that equip families and the local church to provide support and education to families who have experienced foster care or are at risk of separation.
Through these supportive relationships, parents and children hear about the hope of Christ as they work toward the ultimate goal of family reunification. God created and loved families. He wants them to be together. That’s why we champion reunification.

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.

My wife and I adopted domestically through lifeline in 2018 and we have absolutely no regrets. We loved that they were very concerned about investing in and sharing the hope of Jesus with birthmothers. They were great about communicating throughout the process and equipped is to win as adoptive parents! We are so thankful for our Lifeline family!

Lifeline was An amazing agency for us going through our first adoption. They held our hands through the process and answered our 1,000 questions while providing amazing education about complex topics like interracial parenting, adoption language , etc. I highly recommend them! *update: we are using them for our 2nd adoption.

We used lifeline for our adoption and it was a great experience. They helped us every step of the way and kept us informed as we navigated the process. We couldn’t be more grateful for Lifeline and the story they play in adding to our family❤️

We adopted a child internationally through Lifeline. They have done significantly more than we could have expected to make this process as simple as possible, which is great for a family adopting for the first time. Even after the adoption was completed, they have gone above and beyond to exceed our expectations in helping us transition. Highly recommend this agency to anyone considering adoption or anyone placing a child up for adoption, we have zero complaints or negative feedback at all.
