Welcome!
We are so very glad you are here!
The theme this year for AFAH Conference is “A Seat at the Kids’ Table”. Fostering Hope wants to challenge you to think about this: What if fostering or supporting the foster community is seen as an act of hospitality?
Having a seat at the kids’ table means offering rest, nourishment, and even some fun to children and their families. Showing hospitality by caring for children and the adults who come with them- their parents, caseworkers, foster families, attorneys, and advocates.
As you go through today and are inspired by the great connections and words of wisdom shared. Will you consider, how you can invite a child into your home or provide support to the adults who care for these children directly?
Fostering Hope provides many opportunities for service, continuing education, and finding community. If you are already sitting at the kid’s table as a foster, kinship, or adoptive parent we hope to provide encouragement and resources. You can find the links to all our support services below.
Thank you for coming and having A Seat at the Kid’s Table with us.
It’s a delightful place to be!
