Jesus modeled orphan care for us. Leave comfort. Step into the mess. Bring children home. Orphan Care is messy and will cause us pain, but no amount of mess or pain stopped Christ from entering our world and offering us sonship (John 3:16, Romans 8:14-16). #fostercare #adoption

Bridge relationships, find common ground, and love well. We dream of a day where there are more families waiting on kids, than kids waiting on families! @ericporter10 #orphanSunday

In 2018, 36 adoptions took place for foster children served through Royal Family KIDS (RFK) camp & mentoring programs! It's National Adoption Awareness Month, and these children are now part of the adoption demographic and have a 'forever' home. – at Santa Ana, CA
