Making Together Possible
PROVIDING A COMMUNITY OF FOSTER HOMES AND SUPPORT FOR FOSTER FAMILIES TO WELCOME LARGE SIBLING GROUPS
Brothers and sisters should not experience the added loss of being separated from one another when placed in foster care. But foster homes most often do not have the needed space or support to receive multiple children. This reality leaves siblings at risk of being placed in different foster homes, often in different communities.
We are meeting the need for brothers and sisters to stay together while in foster care. Our campuses provide foster homes and a community of support that allows foster families to welcome large sibling groups. Children experience a real home and a real family while living on our campuses.
This is the best foster placement that I have ever been in because there is a lot of love here!
TEEN IN FOSTER CARE AT THE RANCH
Our Harrison Campus Ministry
Located in the Ozark mountains, offering 400 acres of stunning views and a true Ranch life experience, the Arkansas Baptist Ranch provides a peaceful setting for foster families of siblings. Along with support from the community, the Ranch provides a strong support system for families. Our staff is committed to the families serving on campus, providing them support, meeting their needs, and ministering to them as they serve brothers and sisters. The Ranch offers weekly horseback riding and monthly campus events along with providing many new experiences for the kids. Each week, the campus staff hosts a prayer gathering for families at the Ranch Chapel to provide encouragement and support. Our four homes are designed to accommodate multiple children and provide a desirable space to relocate your family. We not only equip families with specialized training to meet the unique needs of caring for siblings. Families are also supported with professional services from our Connected Foster Care staff.

Without families partnering with us to meet this need, children will suffer greater loss and families will be at even greater risk.
Keeping brothers and sisters together provides children a sense of belonging and safety. They are able to make the transition into foster care more successfully and the work towards family reunification is more successful.
