Welcome to Springs of Love
At Springs of Love, we share inspiring stories of those touched by fostering and adoption, help families discern the call, and offer ways for everyone to get involved. Learn about the “triad”—birth parents, adoptive and foster families, and the children they love—and discover how to support vulnerable children, whether by fostering or supporting a foster family.
We’re building a national network of Springs of Love chapters dedicated to raising awareness, creating communities of support, and encouraging families to answer the call to foster and adopt.
If you’re considering fostering or adopting, sign up for our free Be Not Afraid video discernment series for immediate access. Join us in creating a culture of love, belonging, and hope for every child.
Springs of Love receives award from Flourish Fund
We’re honored to be among the organizations selected by Flourish Fund to strengthen foster care and support vulnerable families across the country. This grant will help us continue building a culture of fostering and adoption in the Catholic Church: equipping parishes to raise awareness, support families, and ensure that no family walks alone. Thank you to the Flourish Fund for believing in this mission. We’re excited for what’s ahead!
