Hope and Help for Families

A great deal of attention and time is devoted to recruiting, training, and supporting Foster families, and sometimes our Kinship and Adoptive Families feel left out in the cold. If you have adopted, you might be wrestling with some difficult post-adoption issues. We have some great resources for you.
​
Raise The Future
​Raise The Future offers Family Support Services statewide in an effort to provide sustaining support and prevent entry and re-entry into the child welfare system.  The Family Support Services program incorporates Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) training, personalized in-home coaching, specialized web-based training, and some resource coordination for families. All the services that they provide are FREE and funded by a statewide grant. If you are struggling with trust, connection, and/or correction of your adopted, kinship, or foster children, contact Brittany Medina at [email protected]
​
Preston Ranch
Preston Ranch is eager to provide grants to post-adoption families who have financial struggles due to the complex needs of the children in their care. Please go to their website to apply for Medical Grants, Mental Health Grants, and Crisis Intervention Grants.
​
“The mission of Preston Ranch Ministries is to offer Christ-centered support, strengthening families committed to adoption through post-adoptive grants. We seek to champion these families in their dedication to adoption, and their healing and restoration in Christ.”
