Scooter and Chelsea Kellum share about their foster care journey in Montgomery.

On Friday, November 8, in Birmingham, we enjoyed a wonderful day as we dedicated the new Pathways Professional Counseling Center and rededicated our Administration building, as the "Paul and Diane Miller Administrative Service Center.

“There’s so much hard stuff these girls have been through and things we have to deal with. This Bucket List has given us something fun and helped us make connections with the kids that are important.”

Not a single month will pass in 2019, that a special group of co-workers in Mobile aren’t giving back in big ways to their community.

For children in foster care, there are many unknowns and upheavals in their lives. That’s why the role of a social worker is pivotal, as they walk with them through this difficult journey every step of the way.

"It takes a takes a village” is a phrase commonly spoken when talking about raising children. This statement is also very true for the life of a child in foster care.

Since the beginning of our ministry, the local church has been an essential partner in our mission to care for children and families in need across Alabama.

Drew and Lacey Barnwell have been incredible examples to us of obedience to God and faithfulness to the call of foster care. Married since 2010, they have four biological children and one adopted child, all under the age of seven!

We’re excited to share this story with you today, straight from the heart of Doris Thompson, a former resident of our home in Oxford, also known as the Friendship House.

Wray and Joan Pearce are making a tremendous impact for children and families. Like others who contribute in unique ways, the Pearce family takes hold of opportunities in front of them to serve with what God has entrusted to them.

It’s been a little over a year since the Jewells came on board with us at our Mobile campus as house parents. Just a few short years ago, they had no idea this is where the Lord would lead them, but they can’t imagine being anywhere else.

On our Decatur campus, we are blessed with awesome house parents who have served for many years. With that gift has also come the blessing of their biological children who, for the most part, have only ever known life on a Children’s Homes campus. We thought it would be fun to hear from some of them as they share some of their perspectives on day-to-day life and how life at ABCH has helped them see life outside of themselves.

Heath and Rachel Moye served hands-on by providing a catered-in seafood meal for our kids on campus!

Fusion classes in our Family Care homes are a new initiative we’ve implemented recently in Birmingham, and the community has really rallied around it, with business groups and church small groups regularly participating.
