Welcome to True Vine Tuesdays

Welcome to the True Vine Blog!

This is our little space to share stories from the world of adoption, foster care, and family preservation. The intention of these stories is to welcome you into these spaces if you are not already there. Or if you are in one of these spaces, we hope this blog will give you the feeling of connection. There are others out there, doing the best they can with what they have—sometimes, with their last ounce of strength and other times with gusto.

No matter how successful or unsuccessful you feel, we want you to know you are not alone. You are seen. The kids you care for are seen. You—the adult who was once a child being cared for by adoptive, foster, or another type of caregiver—are seen. You—the kinship caregiver who does not even realize you are a kinship caregiver—are seen. You are not only seen, you are loved. You are loved by the God who created this world with you in mind, and you are loved by us. We have a little community here at Pathway and we want to welcome you into it!

To protect their privacy, we sometimes change the names of those sharing their stories.  But the stories we share will be real stories of real people living and serving in this space. Thank you for joining us in this space. Our hope is that it will encourage you!

Lovingly,
The True Vine Team
