May is National Foster Care Month
and one of our favorite times at The
Children’s Home. It’s a chance for us to
celebrate and acknowledge our families who selflessly open their hearts
and homes to children in need of a
loving, compassionate, and nurturing
home. These families are people just

jobs, and many obligations to fulfill.
Many of them are active in their
church. And they feel called to love children in need. The truth
is, we are all called to “love orphans in their time of distress,”
as we read in the book of James.

The United Methodist Children’s Home was established in 1871 to care for children orphaned during the
Civil War. Over the years, we’ve adapted from that singular focus to our current efforts to help foster
children, as well as our on-campus programs in Decatur that help foster youth ages 18–21 and homeless
families with children develop the skills to stand on their own. But, we’ve always stayed committed to our
founding mission of serving children and families in need.
CARE
complete strangers to these children. At
The United Methodist Children’s Home, we
have to turn away an average of 30 foster
children a week because there are simply
not enough foster homes.
The church can solve this crisis. During
National Foster Care Month, I challenge
you to learn how you can get involved.
Whether that is opening your home to
a child in need or volunteering to help a
family that has foster children, there is a
job for everyone.
Also in honor of National Foster Care
Month, we will be launching our first
foster care coalition! Ten churches
in the Gainesville area are coming
together to create a foster care ministry in
their congregations. The United Methodist
Children’s Home is honored to serve as
the organizing child placement agency for
this coalition.
In this issue of Signposts, we hope you
will take some time to learn more about
fostering with The United Methodist
Children’s Home. We are introducing you
to a few of our foster families, answering
frequently asked questions, and outlining
what IMPACT training entails for new foster
families. If fostering a child is something
close to your heart, I challenge you to
read this feature and receive the answers
you seek.
During National Foster Care
Month, we celebrate families like the Rogers.
Since 2012, Beth and Jimmy Rogers have served as foster parents
to nine children. They currently have three foster children and two adopted children at
home. They also have two biological children in college. Their fostering is truly a labor of love.
You will also read some of our impacts
from 2015. We had a remarkable year and
give thanks for the wonderful support
we received from more than 400 United
Methodist Churches and 4,082 individuals.
Join us, please, in thanking God for these
accomplishments!
As we head into National Foster Care
Month, we ask you to commit to learning
how you can support foster care; prayerfully consider supporting our ministry
financially; and pray for the children, youth,
and families we serve.

FAQs
Foster Care
What does the Bible say about fostering children?
A. The Bible says, “Religion that God accepts as pure and faultless
is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress…”
— James 1:27 (NIV)
Why should I foster?
A. The need for foster families is great. In Georgia alone, 12,000
children are in the foster care system and that number is growing
every day. Each month, more than 150 children sleep in hotel rooms
under the supervision of a state-contracted employee, a complete
stranger, due to a lack of foster homes. Children escaping abusive or
neglectful situations need a safe place to live and be loved.
s
IMPACT trainings take place on our campus in
Decatur, in Gainesville, or in a local church or
community location by request. While attending
IMPACT classes, you will complete the required
paperwork, including a background check,
providing references, medical examinations, drug
screening, and a financial assessment. Contact
Denise Peacock to learn more at (404) 327-5864
or [email protected].
Who can foster?
A. Our foster parents are a diverse group of families and
individuals who meet the following criteria:
• Over 25 years old
• Appropriate housing for children
• Income must be verifiable
• Desire to share their home with children
How can I help?
A. You can help The United Methodist Children’s Home recruit
new foster parents or become a foster parent yourself. Attend an
informational meeting to learn more. If you aren’t able to open
your home right now, we have so many other ways you can get
involved.
Where are your informational meetings held?
A. We hold informational meetings at both our Decatur and
Gainesville offices as well as in other settings, such as churches, as
requested. We also offer IMPACT training, which helps prepare you
for a positive foster experience.
6
How does The Children’s Home foster care
ministry work?
A. The Children’s Home recruits, trains, and approves foster
families, who are then assigned to one of our foster care workers.
We place referred children with a foster family that will be an ideal
fit and a loving, compassionate, and nurturing home. Children also
receive appropriate services to help them heal from the trauma
they have experienced.
Our family-centered approach creates a partnership between the
child’s birth and foster families to increase the likelihood that the
child may permanently return to his or her birth family. When this
is not possible, The Children’s Home assists
with the process of establishing a permanent home for the child or children.
We also help:
• Train and support foster parents;
• Assess, plan, and coordinate services for
foster children;
• Advocate for foster children within the
court, education, and DFCS systems;
• Collaborate and create partnerships within
the community for the benefit of children
and birth families;
• Supervise biological parent-child visitations; and
• Maintain a 24/7 after-hours intake and
support line.
What is The Children’s Home
history with foster care and goals
for the future?
A. The Children’s Home has had a foster
care ministry since 1973. We consistently
exceed Georgia’s standards for foster care
providers and maintain the highest performance scores in the areas of permanency,
safety, and well-being of children. Our
program is faith based, and our staff and
foster parents understand that we seek to
show God’s love to children and families.
We offer quality service with specialized
staff, an intensive staff-to-client ratio,
and accreditation from the Council on
Accreditation and EAGLE.
We have an expansion plan to help us grow
from serving 90 children a day to 500 by
2020! By the end of 2016, our goal is to be
serving 124 children a day.
If I can’t foster right now but want
to get involved, are there other
opportunities for me?
A. Absolutely! Our foster families need
support from their community. We need
volunteers to surround, support, and
love these foster families. View our “Care
Connection” model to learn how your skills
and talents can help children in need.
Every child deserves to be raised in a loving,
compassionate, and nurturing home. Could
you open your home and your heart to
children in need?
A role for everyone:
You’re either called to bring a child
into your home or responsible to care
for those who do.

Beth and Jimmy Rogers adopted two-year-old Karen into their
home in February! The Rogers have been foster parents with The
United Methodist Children’s Home since 2012. Karen is their
second adopted child and they are continuing to foster. We are so
thankful for our families who give loving homes to children in need.
“We need your help.”
Join us for an informational meeting
to learn how you can help children who are hurting.
