Truth and Statistics About Aging Out of Foster Care
“Churches, Government, Non-Profits and Businesses each play a vital role in the lives of waiting children. The ALL IN for Foster Adoption Challenge brings us together so every precious life can be touched and transformed”
Jedd MedefindPresident, Christian Alliance for Orphans
“For 25 years, I've witnessed the faith community create a place of love and care for society's most vulnerable children. It's a little taste of Heaven when you see families reunited and children adopted in forever homes. The ALL IN for Foster Adoption Challenge empowers more churches to serve these children and families.”

“That feeling of being ALL IN deepened when my husband and I attended the Branson, MO retreat with our sons. As foster care alumni with little extended family, we often feel like we're parenting in a vacuum. But the retreat felt like a homecoming. Aunties and uncles surrounded us and loved our kids as their own, who shared their stories without hesitation, and who held space for ours. It was healing, growth, and a reminder that we're not alone.”

“ALL IN provided a safe space, curated a new community of loved ones, and an experience I will never forget. ALL IN encouraged me to be part of a bigger commitment to ensure more youth like me receive a platform to share their experiences, to be loved, and, most importantly, to be both SEEN and SUPPORTED in all areas. ALL IN brings about lifelong connections, growth, and friendships, I felt from day one. I want to thank EVERYONE at ALL IN for being just that - ALL IN our lives, ALL IN our hearts, ALL IN our futures, ALL IN our minds, ALL IN our communities, and ALL IN our dreams. I want to encourage everyone to be ALL IN. With your investment in our lives, stories like mine can continue to shape the beautiful lives of those with lived experience.”

“ALL IN isn't a program helping me transition out of foster care - it's a lifeline of authentic relationships and genuine support. Through the ups and downs of this journey, the ALL IN community has shown me what it means to be seen and known. They've helped me understand that independence isn't about doing everything alone but knowing when to lean on others and trust God's provision through community.”

“The word loneliness for youth in foster care holds a different meaning than for those out of care. Loneliness for a youth in care means sitting in a room with 300 people and feeling completely alone. It means having to remind someone for the 10th time that your birthday is coming up, because they didn’t know you on your last birthday. When you’re surrounded by ALL IN it's like going to a family reunion you never felt you had a part in growing up. You finally get to share a story with someone not because you shared the day together or have the same eyes, but because you both survived the system. ALL IN is your welcome home hug. It’s relationships that are built in a natural way, human to human instead of being a number on a file”
