SUMMARY:A Future and A Hope Conference 2025
DESCRIPTION:Known: Your Story Matters\nLife can be challenging\, especially for foster\, adoptive\, and kinship families\, and young people who’ve aged out of foster care. Each person carries a story filled with immense obstacles and incredible strength. But the power of your story becomes more vibrant through connection and understanding\, not by facing hardships alone. \nBeing known means having your story truly seen\, heard\, and valued. It means feeling understood; having your unique narrative celebrated in full color. It’s about being truly seen\, heard\, and valued for who you are\, not just your circumstances. Your story matters – not just the challenges you’ve faced\, but the journey you are on and the person you are becoming. \nFor foster and adoptive parents\, being known means their story is appreciated for all its complexity; their sacrifices\, their love\, and their efforts are recognized and appreciated. This requires moving beyond the labels and into the full richness of their family’s journey. \nFor kinship caregivers\, being known means someone acknowledges their story of stepping up for family amid complicated dynamics. Their story deserves resources and support to make their caregiving journey smoother. \nFor young people who have aged out of foster care\, being known means their story is seen beyond their circumstances. It means patiently pursuing them\, even through defense mechanisms. It requires listening to their perspective and experiences and validating their needs. It requires walking alongside them as they create their own path. It’s about being recognized as individuals with hopes\, dreams\, and potential\, rather than merely part of a group defined by circumstances. \nIn a world where it’s easy to feel overlooked\, being known transforms your narrative from grayscale to vibrant color. It offers the comfort of belonging\, where your story is honored and celebrated. The journey from monochrome to color reflects the beauty of each unique story\, illuminating the richness of every individual experience. \nKnown is more than just a word. It’s a promise of hope\, support\, and the celebration of every story. It’s the assurance that you are not just part of a system—you are a story that matters. \nJoin us for the A Future & A Hope Conference 2025 as we come together to celebrate\, empower\, and support foster\, adoptive\, and kinship families\, as well as aged-out youth. Together\, we will create a space where every story is recognized\, connections are made\, and opportunities are created. With each session\, we’ll embrace the vibrant narratives that truly represent who we are.

SUMMARY:Parent Support: Making Room for Myself
DESCRIPTION:When we think of the attunement and intentionality it takes to parent a child who has experienced adversity\, it is not hard to imagine how easy it is to get lost in the many hats and responsibilities of parenting. It’s often a slow fade into the backburner of caregiving and one day we realize we have lost touch with who we are outside of parenthood. \nSociety’s obsession with self-care has led us to believe that it must be done outside of the demands of life\, however\, we know that it often must be achieved in the midst of those demands. Whether you want to be proactive with your self-preservation or you find yourself already in the cycle\, join Fostering Hope’s bi-weekly virtual parent support gathering where you will hear from Fostering Hope experts on how to make room for yourself and your needs in the midst of parenting. \nWe look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:Beyond Hair
DESCRIPTION:Many families created through foster care and adoption are transracial. As parents and caregivers\, we can honor and understand what makes our children who they are – their culture\, their family\, and their hair and skin. While our children’s hair texture and skincare are only part of what makes them who they are\, and we must go beyond appreciating these characteristics\, caring for our child’s hair and skin is an important and tangible way to celebrate what makes our child special. Whether you are a seasoned parent who just needs a few tips or are ready for your first step in engaging your child’s cultural history\, we welcome your experience and questions. Join us for a day of learning from experts with lived experience in the field of transracial relationships.\n\nThis training is held in partnership with Change1. Cortney Jones\, along with a seasoned hair stylist will walk caregivers through practical strategies\, wisdom\, and insight to best care for their children’s needs. Participants will leave this training feeling equipped and confident to start the new school year with their children.
