Most foster/adoptive parents find that the joy of seeing their foster children push through past pain and anger far outweighs the challenges and difficult days they encounter.

Arrow’s foster/adoptive parents receive biblically based training as part of the licensing process. Arrow also provides ongoing training opportunities and comprehensive support services. There is immediate access to an on-call case manager for after-hours emergencies. Foster/adoptive parent support groups are available where parents discuss their experiences and find emotional support.

Foster children receive free medical care and therapy, and foster/adoptive parents receive a daily reimbursement to help pay for their foster child’s living expenses.

Arrow was founded in 1992 by a former foster child who grew up in a loving, Christian foster home. Today, we strive to give every foster child that same opportunity, to experience the unconditional love and commitment of a Christian family, and the support and encouragement of a church community.

Because of the Christian principles our ministry was founded on, we hold ourselves, and our foster families to a higher standard of excellence. This is reflected in all the programs and services of Arrow Child & Family Ministries. Arrow encourages local churches to establish their own foster care/adoption ministries to provide support to foster/adoptive families in their own congregations.

We’re looking for families who are passionate, committed and want to make fostering or adopting their mission because they are called to it.

Find out if this might be your calling by attending one of our many online or in-person info meetings. This is where you’ll learn more about what it takes to become a foster/adoptive family with Arrow, and it’s the perfect time to have all your questions answered.

The video below gives you an idea as to why our staff and Arrow families are trained in Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) from the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development at TCU. A child who is damaged by the trauma of a difunctional relationship, can begin healing in a healthy relationship. This is one reason the stability of our foster placements exceed state and national averages.
