Celebrating National Adoption Month: Creating Forever Homes with Impact Living Services
Each November, National Adoption Month raises awareness of the urgent need for adoptive families. It celebrates the journey of building forever homes for children and teens. This month shines a light on the importance of adoption, honors families who open their hearts and homes, and supports those still waiting for a loving family.
At Impact Living Services, we recognize the transformative power of adoption. We commit to helping youth in foster care find permanent, supportive homes where they can thrive, whether through family reunification, kinship placement, or fostering to adoption.
Fostering Through Impact Living Services
At Impact Living Services, we work closely with children and families to make fostering and adoption meaningful. Our team supports youth through every step of fostering, helping them find nurturing, stable homes. We also assist foster families, especially those in Treatment Foster Care, by offering resources, guidance, and support.
Our approach focuses on more than placing a child with a family. We build strong connections, help children adjust to new environments, and ensure families are fully equipped for long-term support. Through our services, we aim to give each child a home where they feel a true sense of belonging.
Stories of Hope and Belonging: The Miller Family
The adoption journey is filled with stories of hope, resilience, and new beginnings. Many families at Impact Living Services share how welcoming a child into their home has brought joy and purpose. Consider the story of the Miller family.
The Millers came to Impact open to fostering and adoption. Their first placement was for a young girl in their community needing respite care. Despite initial challenges, the Millers strengthened their commitment to foster care. Not long after, they received a new request: “Could you take in a sibling group of three—tomorrow?” Embracing the challenge, the Millers purchased a minivan overnight to prepare for the siblings’ arrival.
Over time, the siblings made remarkable progress, and, after years of dedication, they were officially adopted into the Miller family. Their journey highlighted the overwhelming need for loving, stable homes for children separated from their family of origin. Their story serves as a testament to love and commitment’s power in creating lifelong change.
