Foster & Adoptive Support Services
​
At The Olive Branch Society, we believe that foster and adoptive care is not about rescuing children from their families — it’s about helping families heal. Through compassionate guidance and community connection, we walk alongside foster and adoptive parents, helping them navigate the journey with clarity, confidence, and heart.
We are dedicated to strengthening collaboration within the foster care system — building bridges between foster and adoptive parents, biological families, caseworkers, agencies, and child advocates such as GALs (Guardians ad Litem) and CASA volunteers. Our goal is to create an environment of trust, understanding, and teamwork where every adult works together for the good of every child.
Our Services
🌿 Virtual & In Person Connection & Support
We meet in person and virtually (via Zoom), creating a safe, private, and confidential space where foster and adoptive parents can connect, share, and learn together. Our community offers encouragement, education, and collaboration — no matter where you are.
🌿 System Navigation
The foster and adoptive care system can feel overwhelming. We help parents understand the process, communicate effectively with caseworkers, and work collaboratively with agencies and professionals. When needed, we also help mediate conversations — always maintaining confidentiality, respect, and neutrality.
🌿 Trauma-Informed Guidance
Caring for children who have experienced trauma requires patience, awareness, and specialized tools. We provide trauma-informed coaching to help foster and adoptive parents support children with special needs, emotional challenges, and behavioral struggles — building stability and trust within the home.
🌿 Education & School Advocacy
We assist foster and adoptive parents in navigating the school system, connecting with teachers, and finding appropriate educational supports and programs to meet each child’s unique needs.
🌿 Emotional Support & Peer Mentoring
Parenting through foster or adoption journeys can be emotional and complex. We offer a listening ear, validation, and real conversations. Our mentors — including experienced foster and adoptive parents, caseworkers, and trauma-informed professionals — provide understanding and guidance without judgment.
🌿 Redefining the Foster & Adoptive Journey
We help new foster and adoptive parents discover the true meaning of their role — beyond old narratives or unrealistic expectations. Together, we re-frame the journey as partnership in healing, not saving — creating allies who help families rebuild and children find stability.
🌿 Family Collaboration
We encourage and guide foster and adoptive parents in supporting biological parents through empathy, healthy boundaries, and teamwork — promoting a healthier reunification process and long-term success for the child.
🌿 Community & Resources
We connect families to local and national resources, including therapy options, parenting programs, community supports, and advocacy networks that strengthen the foster and adoptive experience for everyone involved.
