Sometimes because of behavior, family issues, or other issues children need to go to a home outside their home for help, discipline, and structure in their lives. Several times a month we here at For the Love of the Family receive requests for help in locating homes that are Independent Baptist that might help children who are having problems at home. Because the home or ministry is listed below does not mean we recommend them. We are only providing this list as a help to families as a resource. You will need to check the ministries for compatibility to your situation. Please contact them directly. If you know of a home you feel would be worthy to add to this list please feel free to contact us at
tlcoomer@juno.com with their information to add to the list.
