Connect1Child is the off-campus foster care and adoption ministry of the Louisiana Baptist Children's Home (LBCH). LBCH has been serving children and families in need since 1899. As we began serving more and more children in foster care at our Monroe campus, the need became apparent to expand our efforts to reach more children in foster care throughout the state.
Our vision is to connect all Louisiana foster children to Christian families and churches. Connect1Child mobilizes churches and believers to answer God’s call in James 1:27, "…to look after orphans…in their distress."
Connect1Child includes a team of social workers trained in trauma-informed care to work closely with the Department of Children and Family Services and other foster care community partners to understand the needs and how the churches and Christian families can help.

Requirements to become a foster parent
You're never alone when you foster as you work as part of a professional team. Louisiana’s Department of Children and Family Services partners with many organizations to help support foster children and the families that care for them.
The collaborative Foster Caregiver Mentor Program encourages peer relationships between foster families. It's an effective way for new resource parents to meet with more experienced caregivers and get advice.
Your local DCFS also has plenty of resources online, including parent handbooks, contact information, and emergency service information. You can learn more about child welfare agencies and how to become a foster parent.
A child-placing agency is always there for you, providing support in times of crisis or even when you have questions. Don't forget about the case worker, who you can contact if you feel lost.
Working with the birth parents is another part of a foster parent's job. However, you don't have to simply contact them to set up visitations and calls. Co-parenting with them is often best for the child, and it can make your job easier.
