Become
A Foster Parent |
 |
The Bair Foundation serves children
who have been separated from their parents or guardians. These children and
teens are the unfortunate products of their environments. Often the victims of
physical, sexual, or psychological abuse, their parents or guardians were
unable or unwilling to properly care for them.
Each child is a precious gift of God. By recognizing this and planting a seed
of hope in the life of a child who has never known hope, you become a living,
breathing testimony of the unconditional love of Jesus Christ to children who
desperately need to know that they are loved. |
