Family Advocacy Ministry
Family Advocacy Ministry (FAM) exists to strengthen and support foster, adoptive, and biological families in crisis by creating a community that provides wrap-around care to these families.
"Give justice to the weak and the fatherless;
maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.
Rescue the weak and the needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”
Psalm 82:3-4
Because kids belong in families.
Here is what you need to know!
Family Advocacy Ministry (FAM) exists to strengthen and support foster, adoptive, and biological families in crisis by creating a community that provides wrap-around care to these families. This choice to foster or adopt can be daunting and overwhelming. Restoration Church of Sanford offers meaningful support to each family through the creation of a Care Community group that serves these families in specific ways. 50% of families who choose to foster a child drop out within the first year. With support from a few others, the dropout rate falls to less than 5%!
When a Care Community group provides practical and meaningful support to the family, they contribute security and a sense of permanence to the vulnerable child. Everyone can do something!
