How can communities solve the foster care capacity problem? Take
for example, a suburban Georgia county with a foster care
population of approximately 500 children.  Of that 500, the
county currently has approximately 100 foster families, which
means we need to raise capacity to address the remaining 400
children.  Next, we look at the number of churches within that
county, and we see that there are 1,000 churches. Even if we
assume only one-third of the churches will be interested in a
foster care ministry, we have more than 300 churches in which to
find 400 new foster homes.  When looked at this way, the problem
no longer seems insurmountable. Instead, the solution appears
obvious.
