What We Do

Foster parent, foster child, respite caregiver, licensing classes, wraparound care–these words may conjure confusion because foster care is still a mystery to many.

In Miami-Dade County, over 1,000 kids are removed from their homes and placed in the child welfare system each year.

Explore Foster Miami hopes to demystify the foster care system, so that anyone can step up and say “yes” to bringing support to a child and family.

“This is our calling–as believers–and as simply people, who have experienced God’s redemptive love. That there is a hope and future for every child, and every person– and it is my passion and purpose to bring light to the darkness, and hope to the hopeless.”
