Title: Help Foster Caregivers
Topic: Helping Foster Caregivers

Discussed by Dr. Sharen Ford
with Wait No More (www.WaitNoMore.org)

Statistics show the number of children taken out of their homes because of drug abuse has more than doubled since 2000. This has added more strain on the foster care system in America.

Dr. Sharen Ford is the Program Director for Focus on the Family’s Adoption and Orphan Care Efforts. In this role, she helps to raise awareness of the need for adoptive families to provide loving and stable homes for the more than 100,000 waiting children in the U.S. foster care system.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

How many American children are in the foster care system? How many of those in foster care are available TODAY to be adopted?

Why is it more difficult to become a foster/adoptive parent? Is this a GOOD thing?

The opioid crisis has caused many children to be in heartbreaking situations. How can Christians help?

Dr. Ford says: “There is room for everyone at the table. There is something for everyone to do. Just be willing to say ‘use me’.”
