It has been an exciting year of growth for Big Oak Ranch Communities. For 52 years, Big Oak Ranch has provided a stable Christian home to children needing a chance, and we are continuing to fulfill that mission for children in foster care.
Over the past few months we have seen real life change take place for the children we serve:
- Sibling groups who were once separated in homes across the state are now under one roof or right next door.
- A child who was dismissed from multiple foster homes has found stability, is thriving, and is now someone his siblings look up to.
- A teenager who once believed college was an impossibility is now motivated and on track to pursue higher education through ASCEND.
Through the support of Big Oak Ranch, our families are able to continue in their calling as foster parents. Families are staying, relationships are growing, and children are thriving.
We are grateful for each of you who continue to rally around the families and children in our Communities, helping provide stability, healing, and Hope to children who need a chance.
We are seeking families who feel called to serve so more children can experience healing and Hope in their lives. If you are interested in serving as a foster family or respite family, our team is ready to support you. Please reach out to us at (205) 467-6226 or click below
What Big Oak Ranch Communities means to me
“As foster and adoptive parents ourselves, we know how vital help and support become when God calls your family to foster care. Now, in the role of Community Directors, we get to spend our days giving this support to foster families, bringing the Communities Model and Big Oak’s holistic childcare approach to foster care so both parents and children thrive. Seeing parents fulfill their calling and kids from foster care find healing, Hope, and the love of a Christ-centered family has been one of the greatest joys of our lives.”
