Brothers & Sisters Together

ABCFM SIBLING FOSTER CARE

“The sibling group of 7 that we just brought together under our care had previously been placed in 3 different parts of the state. Coming into foster care is the first time the siblings had ever been apart from each other. In order to have in-person visits, all the kids had to travel all around the state with different workers all day. Visits were on Saturdays and it was a 16 hour ordeal.”

Making Together Possible

PROVIDING A COMMUNITY OF FOSTER HOMES AND SUPPORT FOR FOSTER FAMILIES TO WELCOME LARGE SIBLING GROUPS

At ABCFM, we believe siblings should never face the added loss of being separated when placed in foster care. However, most foster homes lack the space or resources to care for multiple children, leaving siblings at risk of being split up into different homes, often in separate communities.

To meet this need, ABCFM provides sibling foster care across five locations: Arkansas Baptist Ranch, ABCFM Monticello, Calvary Baptist Association in Judsonia, West Fork, and The Church at Rock Creek in Little Rock. Our campuses offer foster homes and a strong support system, allowing families to welcome large sibling groups and provide them with a real home and family environment. Keeping brothers and sisters together provides children a sense of belonging and safety, helping them transition into foster care more successfully and increasing the likelihood of successful family reunification

Sibling Foster Homes are provided services by ABCFM Foster Care Provider, Connected Families.

It means we don’t have to only see them on visits anymore. We get to love on them all the time.
