hopeful futures: A discussion on Foster Care & ADoption

October 1, 2024 6:00 PM

100 million Americans have been touched by adoption. Yet, over 400,000 kids are in foster care in America and 6,000 in Nashville. Many of them are painfully waiting to be adopted or waiting to reunite with family. Often this waiting can take years, and for some, it never ends.

Join Generous.Life Nashville on Tuesday, October 1st to discuss and explore the hope and solutions for children in foster care.
