Aaron and I spent 6 hours in training at the Arkansas Area 1 Annual Foster Parent Conference, today, learning about this work that we have been called to do and grown to love. This event was thoughtfully orchestrated by an army of incredible volunteers and their mission was fulfilled in the way they lovingly ministered to conference attendees. We felt supported, refreshed, that our concerns are heard. Additionally, our young children were loved, welcomed, fed, and generously entertained while we learned from professionals who taught us about creating a safe environment for children with trauma, parenting in the Hispanic Community, Ethnic hair care, and foster parenting ethics. And at the end of an enriching conference, they held the doors open and sent every family home with a hot dinner to go...what a well considered and empathetic gesture!
Well done, Hope NWA, this foster family feels and is inspired by your Christian support.
