Being a Koinonia parent means you will be a part of an organization with very high standards and expertise in helping children in need. Children in foster care have been exposed to various forms of trauma and we need you to work with us and help these children. As a Koinonia parent you might be the first person in their life to truly love and care for them. 💛 This is not always easy, but you will have a team of individuals to help you along the way. All of our children have individualized plans that are established to best serve the child. We work together as a team to provide hope and healing to the children in our care. These children need loving and patient parents and we ask that you consider becoming a child’s greatest hope. ➡️To take the next step toward becoming a foster parent, or to donate to our cause, visit the link below: https://lnk.bio/KFH #FosterCare #Koinonia

Read the Hilterbrand family's decades long journey in foster care! ✨ "We decided to become Foster Parents, way back in 1987. At the time we had two boys 8 + 11 years old. We had no idea how this decision would affect our lives. We decided it would be best to take placements of boys similar in age to our boys. Over the years we have probably had about 100 or more boys. Most have been with us for long periods (years) of time. We strive to make them feel they are an important part of our home and part of our family. Those years were busy, and fun. After our biological boys were grown and gone, we continued to accept referrals. Typically we had 3 or 4 placements. There have been many moments of success, and there were tough times we dealt with too. As we got older, we became more selective in placements. We received a referral for a young 12-year boy “Robbie.” Many times, Robbie asked if we would ever adopt him. He wanted a family. Our response was you are part of our family and can stay here as long as you need too. Surprisingly, one night my husband, Cleo, asked if I would consider adopting Robbie! I was shocked. Cleo has always kept his guard up and did not become emotionally attached to the boys. Robbie somehow was able to break into Cleo’s heart in a different way and they became remarkably close and understood each other. We were able to adopt him, and he completed our Family. We have 9 grandchildren, and age wise Robbie is right in the middle! Robbie is now a Senior at Downey High School. He enjoys helping people, and being active. He has become secure and very well adjusted. I often think of different kids that have been part of our family and how their lives have enriched us, no matter how long they were in our home, a few days or years and years. Each child is different. Not all are easy, but all are worth it. My husband and I are a team, no matter how difficult things are at times. Communication is invaluable in keeping each other aware of things. We wouldn’t hesitate to do it all over again." #FamilyStories #FosterCare #Koinonia
