National Foster Care Month

May is National Foster Care Month, and several organizations (including Focus on the Family, Hope for Orphans, and Show Hope) are encouraging people and churches across the country to gather together to pray for the 500,000 children growing up in the foster care system.
Several hundred prayer vigils for children and youth in foster care are expected to be held across the country during the week of May 16-23, 2010 for this national effort. These prayer vigils will provide an opportunity for communities all over America to remember and pray for these children and the families, caseworkers and judges working hard to help them find loving homes.
