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.

We adopted our daughter through Lifeline 7 years ago, and we had a wonderful experience.
The main reason we chose Lifeline was their commitment to the biological mothers. We wanted to be assured that the birth mother of our child was closely counseled in her decision, NOT coerced, and Lifeline provided that.
Our daughter is now 7 years old and we have an ongoing relationship with her precious birth mom, and we love them both dearly.

I wish I could give Lifeline 10 stars. We adopted through them, have participated in other ministries of theirs and love the Christian fellowship and community that comes along with partnering with their organization.

Fantastic organization. Hesitate to call them an agency because they do so much more than adoption. Kind, caring, and invested in the needs of children all over the world. What a blessing!

Our family used Lifeline Children’s Services to adopt our youngest son. We could not have been happier! They were exceptional! They “held our hands” through the whole process and walked us through each step. We are forever grateful for them!

The kindest most experienced adoption agency we spoke too. They were amazing to work with and made the process exciting and clear. I can’t recommend them enough. BTW they also do foster care and many other services for children.
