Be the Light to Children in Foster Care.

In East Texas alone, there are over 1,200 children in foster care, and half of those children are being sent out of East Texas.

Be The Light

Foster. Adopt. Support. Advocate.

The foster care system is complex. We’ll guide you every step of the way.

If the foster care system is a maze, consider us the guide.

We help you find your path, show you the way, and equip you with the resources you’ll need to make a difference.

Whether you desire to adopt, foster, or support, The Fostering Collective has the resources, guidance, and answers you need to change the lives of children from hard places.

Who We Are

The Fostering Collective was started with one goal in mind: helping you change the lives of children in need. Our staff and board, foster and adoptive families ourselves, struggled with the complexity of the system when trying to get started. We faced some of the same questions you do:

Testimonials

“Healthy, thriving, godly families ready and willing to step into the foster care system are essential. Can we get more of them, please? The work is abundant but the workers are too few. The Fostering Collective is devoted to building a community of these families to step in and fill the gap.”

Chris Legg | Adoptive Father | Pastor of South Spring Baptist Church

“The Fostering Collective has been an invaluable resource for our foster and adoptive families! Partnering with this supportive network in our communities gives us the ability to create positive outcomes for the families and children that we serve. They are a beautiful example of how the Church can make a difference in the life of a child in foster care.”

Lori Sutton-White | DFPS

“When I first attended an event with The Fostering Collective, I thought it was just another great outreach for foster and adoptive families, but had no expectation of any long-term care. However, The Fostering Collective has provided much more than the occasional free meal and a much-needed moment of rest for parents. They have cultivated a community of people who understand the unique struggles and victories our family experiences. And, because of their mission to care for and support the whole family, my wife and I have found a greater capacity and energy to love the children we’re called to bring into our home. The Fostering Collective has shown us that we’re not doing this alone and it makes all the difference.”
