At Ready for Life, our mission is to touch the life of each child placed in the care of our foster families in such a way as to have a positive, lasting impact on their lives, as witnessed by their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual growth.
We strive to meet the needs of the children within the child welfare system by nurturing the connections made with resource families and the community. These connections create lifelong bonds and opportunities for permanency in the form of adoption, guardianship and long term foster care.
Our vision is to touch and impact the life of every child we meet leaving a positive and enduring effect on their lives, and on the community in which they live. It is our hope and prayer to see each of the children entrusted to us, placed in local homes and connected to community resources so they are prepared for life outside of the foster care system and become successful, empowered, healthy and happy providing the communities with a lasting and authentic legacy.
The name, Ready for Life, exhibits what our philosophy states. Children’s needs should not only be met through “basic care” but also in teaching much needed vocational skills, social skills, and Independent Living Skills, thus the intended goal, preparing the children to be Ready for Life. Our logo is a symbol of transformation that a child in need can experience with the help and encouragement of the right foster parents. The circle is broken, symbolizing the "breaking of a dysfunctional life cycle." The butterfly shows the spiritual transformation from within that they can experience. When combined, these symbols create a logo that represents our philosophy.
Ready for Life Foster Family Agency is a faith-based organization and, as such, strives to support our families, children, and staff with daily prayer, guidance, and encouragement, as we endeavor to raise these precious children together.
