Family Support is a branch of City Without Orphans dedicated to coming alongside foster, kinship, and adoptive families through education, practical resources, and meaningful community. We equip and encourage caregivers, create opportunities for connection and rest, and help families build the support systems they need to thrive.
Foster, kinship, and adoptive families, adult adoptees, and former foster youth seeking connection, education, encouragement, or practical support. Whether preparing for the journey, navigating everyday challenges, or facing a difficult season, we’re here to offer support before needs become crises. We also partner with social workers, churches, and agencies to help families access care and build lasting support systems.
Caring for children takes more than love. It takes education, practical resources, opportunities for rest, and a community to lean on. By coming alongside families early and throughout their journey, we help strengthen caregivers, prevent isolation, and create more stable, connected homes where children and families can thrive.
Parenting through foster care, kinship, and adoption brings unique joys and challenges. Our support groups create space for caregivers to connect with others who understand, share experiences, ask questions, and build lasting relationships. You don’t have to be in crisis to find a community that walks alongside you.
Welcoming spaces for honest conversation, encouragement, and friendship. Whether gathering over coffee or connecting with other moms, caregivers can share experiences, learn from one another, and know they’re not alone.
Grandparents, relatives, and other kinship caregivers play an important role in providing stability for children. We help connect these families with practical resources, encouragement, and a community that understands their unique journey.
From Foster & Adoption 101 and TBRI training to individual coaching, conferences, and retreats, we help caregivers gain practical tools, deepen their understanding, and feel more equipped for the journey ahead.
Every caregiver needs opportunities to rest. Through respite nights and childcare support, we help create space for parents to recharge, connect with others, and care for themselves while their children are cared for in a safe, supervised setting.
You don’t have to wait until things feel overwhelming to reach out. Whether you’re preparing to welcome a child, navigating new challenges, or simply looking for people who understand, we’re here to walk alongside you with education, resources, and community.
From support groups and parent gatherings to workshops, conferences, and retreats, there are opportunities throughout the year to learn, connect, and find encouragement.
Whether you’re looking for support, hoping to connect with other families, or helping someone find the resources they need, we’d love to hear from you.
