​​The Beacon's story begins during a "normal" brunch date with a young adult from church. Hearing the news and concerns of her two younger siblings that have been in foster care for quite some time and are in need of a forever home. Long story short, I blurted out, "we'll take them!" 

​

My husband, Thomas and I prayed about the decision, sought counsel, talked it over with Aden (born 2006) (my step-son), he lovingly accepted and God delivered! On February 18, 2022 Elyjah (born 2008) and Anna (born 2017) were placed into our care. On June 12, 2023 we adopted them into our hearts and family forever!

​

In reference to the exciting day when the children transitioned from their foster home to ours, it became evident that the addition of two more individuals to our care would significantly impact our daily routines, finances and responsibilities. Each child brought a considerable amount of personal belongings from the previous foster home. However, it was disheartening to learn that when they were removed from their biological home, they were only permitted to take the clothes they were wearing and a blanket. Consequently, they would require a complete replenishment of their personal items. There are many more similar and yet worse stories than ours.

 

We are motivated to contribute to the foster community. We draw upon our personal experiences and maintain a strong reliance on Divine guidance in our daily lives

​

We firmly believe that the Good News offers hope and a future through the Truths of God's Word and His Love. These principles serve as our unwavering foundation and core values.
