"Bridges to Belonging" is a heartfelt blog dedicated to the journey of building lasting connections for children and families touched by foster care and adoption. We believe that belonging is not simply given — it’s built intentionally, through compassion, resilience, and partnership.
Through real-life stories, practical insights, and uplifting resources, we aim to encourage, equip, and inspire those who help build the bridges that lead children to belonging — wherever that path may lead.
Whether you're preparing to welcome a child, seeking to reconnect, or standing in the gap, you are part of the story.
One of the ways we affirm a child’s worth from the very beginning is through our Bags for Belonging program. Every child who enters foster care through Seven Homes receives a brand-new backpack or diaper bag filled with essentials and comfort items, carefully curated with their needs and hearts in mind.
As parents and caregivers, it can be hard — and sometimes overwhelming — to know how to respond when a child is upset. One of the biggest challenges is figuring out whether you're dealing with a tantrum or a meltdown.
Family isn't defined by age, circumstances, or perfect timing...
After three years of building memories, growing together, and navigating the challenges of the foster care journey, these dynamic brothers are now officially part of the Jordan family! A story of adoption.
Where tiny hands and big hearts meet — belonging begins. A story of adoption.
TBRI® is an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention that is designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children.
