Abusive Homes Persist: Children may be left in abusive environments, facing long-term physical and emotional harm.
Older and Special Needs Children Go Without Care: Older and special needs children often face greater challenges finding loving homes. Delaying foster parenting means these children may go without the support they desperately need.
Unfulfilled Purpose: Potential foster families may miss the opportunity to fulfill their calling, to be a light of hope in their communities.
Families May Miss Out on Restoration: The main objective of foster homes is to bring restoration to families whenever possible. Without the support foster families offer, many families who could be restored will remain fractured and separated.
