Valentine’s Day is often filled with flowers, chocolates, and sweet notes, but at David & Margaret and Serenity Foster Care & Adoption, we get to see a different kind of love every single day.
It is the love that shows up at school drop-offs and court dates.
The love that says, “I’m here,” even on the hard days.
The love that chooses patience, consistency, and connection every time.
Foster care is rooted in love. Not the fairy-tale kind, the real kind. The kind that helps a child feel safe enough to grow, heal, and express themselves.
This month, we want to celebrate our incredible resource families who open their homes and hearts to children and youth who need stability and support. You are the everyday heroes of Valentine’s Day.
Thank you for the late-night talks, the packed lunches, the homework help, the rides to practice, and the unwavering commitment to helping children feel seen and valued. Your love makes a lasting difference.
If you have ever wondered whether foster parenting might be part of your story, Valentine’s season is a beautiful time to explore that possibility. You do not have to be perfect. You do not have to have all the answers. You simply have to be willing to show up with compassion and an open heart.
At Serenity, we walk alongside families every step of the way, with training, support, mentorship, and a community that truly understands the journey. You are never alone here.
Because love changes lives.
Love builds attachment.
Love creates belonging.
This Valentine’s Day, we invite you to consider how you might share love in a way that lasts far beyond February 14th. If you are ready to learn more about becoming a foster parent, we would love to connect with you.
And to our current families, thank you for showing what love in action truly looks like.
