For so many children in foster care, their brother or sister has been the most constant presence in their lives. A sibling is often the only person who understands their experiences and can provide a sense of comfort and security when they feel so alone. Siblings placed together can help each other adjust to new families, schools, and communities. Research shows that in addition to the emotional benefits, siblings placed together experience a lower risk of failed placements and fewer moves.

EFC (Enhanced Foster Care) is a specialized program that provides additional support and funding for fostering sibling groups of four or more.

At Agape, we are passionate about the importance of sibling relationships. Are you equipped to provide a loving and nurturing home for sibling groups? If so, let’s connect and talk about this wonderful opportunity to minister to the many sibling groups in foster care in Alabama.
