ACWORTH

Family #82: 1 kid
This single foster mom has a sweet and affectionate 4 y/o girl in the home. This little girl is a bundle of energy and always wants to play– whether it be with dolls, running around at a park, or her recent favorite– at a splash pad! Juggling between her intense job, errands, and caretaking, the foster mom dreams of a day where she can just turn her mind off, relax, and enjoy doing nothing!! A volunteer who is young or young-minded, energetic, comfortable taking on a big sister/big brother dynamic with the youth in the home and providing childcare will be the radical support the foster mom needs

BALL GROUND

Family #15: 6 kids
This foster family has 6 kiddos in the home, ages 4 through 9! They work to offer a home full of love to the sibling sets they take in. They would love some time for date night for the parents. Any and all support would be welcomed!

Family #35: 6 kids
This family has 6 kiddos in the home: a mix of bio, adoptive, and children in care, ages 2-16. The older kids in the home love that they are a foster family, and wrap around every child in their home; but this family could definitely use some support! The kids could use one on one attention, care packages, and just some love!!​

CANTON

Family #17: 3 kids
This foster family is a recent transplant to Georgia from Florida, where the couple worked as CASA volunteers. They have officially been fostering for less than a year  and would love a volunteer to walk alongside them as they navigate this new journey! They are specifically seeking someone to spend time with the kiddos in the home so they can continue exploring the new area. They currently have a sibling set of 3 in the home, ages 11-16.

Family #54: 4 kids
This family is not inexperienced with trauma. They recently adopted their 16 y/o daughter, and feel they are moving in the right direction for their family. The foster mom works with a non-profit, volunteers on the Atlanta Angels Foster Parent Council, and is a homemaker. They are looking for a LB leader that is willing to invest time with the family, joining them at their home for mealtime, and being willing to connect. She has worked with the child welfare system for quite some time, and is very open to discussing her experiences with others. A LB leader just as willing to pour in and be vulnerable would be a great match for this family. 
Foster mom told one of our Case Managers that “anyone that enters their home becomes family.” This family is licensed with Faithbridge, and began their foster care journey with a baby girl they knew from their community. A few years later, they are continuing their foster care journey post-adoption. Currently they have two young brothers ages 2 and 3 y/o, but they also are open to teenagers in the future. 

Family #56: 10 kids
This veteran, single foster mom typically has around 10 girls in the home ages ranging from 3 y/o to 16 y/o.  She is adventurous and enjoys spontaneity and traveling as her self-care. She would ideally like to enjoy a solo trip, an entire family trip, and bio/adopted family trip every year. This caregiver is fairly new to GA and does not have a big local community support like she used to in Ohio– especially for childcare. So, a volunteer who is comfortable keeping company with groups of 8+ girls ranging from littles to teenagers would be phenomenal for this family. Caregiver understands that the sheer number of kiddos in the home may be intimidating, but she shares "it sounds like a lot when I say it, but it really does not feel like a lot at all!" Additionally, someone with a daughter around the age of 11 to have playdates would be above and beyond. Lastly, moving to GA, the family lost financial support for her adopted kiddos. Any financial support to help provide extracurricular opportunities for them would be invaluable.

Family #57: 1 kid
This single momma and her newly adopted daughter have been involved with Atlanta Angels since the beginning of our journey and theirs, and we would love to find a community member to come alongside this little family! They could use support with babysitting, transportation, and meals!

WOODSTOCK

Family #19: 4 kids
This single foster mom has been a licensed therapeutic foster parent (meaning she is available for her kids 24/7) for over 20 years! She currently has 4 placements ranging in ages from 9 to 16 y/o, all of whom are girls. Her bio daughter and niece also live with her and live with cerebral palsy. She would love some time to herself and help with food, and she got very excited at the idea of going out by herself to get her nails done!

Family #71: 3 kids
These two caregivers felt it was a higher calling for their family to grow in the form of adoption and fostering. They first adopted their 6 y/o daughter as a newborn then became licensed to foster in Dec 2022. Since then, they grew to a family of 5 with a 6 y/o, 3 y/o, 1 y/o. Foster mom is the full-time caretaker while foster dad works intense hours in the restaurant managing business. Being newly licensed, mom’s main concern is that her 6 y/o daughter may feel left out as she is being stretched in various ways by the needs of her kiddos in care. This family will benefit from a volunteer who has young child/ren themselves who can offer consistent emotional support for the caregivers, playdates, babysitting especially for the kiddos in care so that she can start spending one-on-one quality time with her daughter again! Their spiritual walk in Christianity is important to them. They hope to share this value and faith with the volunteer.
