FaithBridge also works with the State of Georgia to provide Child Life Histories (compilations of official documents such as birth certificates and medical histories, and historical information like birth family details and school records) for children who are eligible for adoption, ensuring that they have all of their required documents to be adopted. In 2023, in the adoption program's early stages, FaithBridge matched two families with children waiting in the foster care system to be adopted, resulting in four children finding their forever homes. Additionally, FaithBridge completed 687 Child Life Histories, making adoption possible for each child. 512153 0 8692 Support for Young Adults Aging Out of Care: FaithBridge Youth Opportunities assists young adults in Georgia, between the ages of 18 and 26, who have aged out of foster care on their journey into adulthood.
