Did you know that 23% of adoption-eligible children are teenagers? Sadly, many of these incredible young individuals have been in foster care for nearly 3 years and may never be adopted. Instead, they age out of the foster care system without the family support they yearn for, facing life on their own. Our foster teens have dreams and ambitions, just like everyone else, and they deeply desire the love and stability of a family. If you feel the call to adopt, we urge you to consider opening your heart to these deserving young people. Together, we can change their futures. ?? #AdoptAFosterTeen #NationalAdoptionMonth #AdoptionChangesLives

Raleigh's Place exists to Live the Gospel by Loving the Fatherless.
关于我们
Raleigh’s Place is a Christ-centered foster care ministry. Raleigh’s Place does ministry in several different ways to assist foster children and foster families. Our first ministry is Raleigh’s Place homes. We began as a foster home and continue to serve the fatherless with homes today. Over the years, more than 200 children have called Raleigh’s Place home. We also work with many different foster families by providing food, clothing, respite, and more to help meet their needs. Our hope is that foster children will be reunified with their families. When that does not happen, we help foster families find forever homes for their foster children. The next ministry is Camp 1:27. Camp 1:27 is our annual summer camp for children who are in foster homes, institutional settings, relative placements, or who have been adopted. One unique feature of Camp 1:27 is that it is absolutely FREE for children who are currently in or have been through the foster care system. The camp has aspects of a traditional camp, including arts & crafts, sports activities, and swimming. The camp also has Bible study, praise and worship, and God and I times. Another ministry of Raleigh’s Place is Katie’s Kloset. Katie’s Kloset began in 2017 as a clothing ministry for foster families. Over the years we have been able to serve hundreds of foster children in Alabama. We quickly realized that this ministry could be bigger so we began seeking property to open a thrift store. We re-opened Katie’s Kloset as a fully functioning thrift store in May 2020. We still continue to provide free resources to foster families as we continue to Live the Gospel by Loving the Fatherless. A new ministry that began in July 2020 is the Workmanship Initiative. The Workmanship Initiative is designed to equip foster children facing emancipation with the skills necessary to be self-sufficient adults. We will focus on four primary areas: Education, Life Skills, Job Training, and Job Placement.

"We're not all called to do the same thing, but we're all certainly capable of doing something." - Jason Johnson As we consider #NationalAdoptionMonth, this quote rings true. You may not be called to foster or adopt but the Bible makes it clear: we are all called to do something to care for the orphan. Jason lays out a great model for what this looks like in his book "Everyone Can Do Something." Doing something can be as simple as providing a meal for a foster family, babysitting, attending court or appointments, lawn care, or cleaning a house. These are great ways to serve the fatherless without being a foster or adoptive parent.
