Abstract

The author seeks to build connections between the child welfare system, foster and adoptive families, and people of faith by creating a multi-faith worship service and networking event. Informing the lens of faith are adoption/foster care history and culture, theological reflection, statistical data, stories of people of faith, and a model worship service and networking event. The planning, implementation, and review processes are documented in publicity materials, ethics board reviews, a service bulletin, letters, diagrams, music, bi-lingual blessings, the sermon, a budget, and a resource list of books, articles, and suggested websites. The conclusion suggests alternative ways to increase permanency for children.
