What People Are Saying

  • Becky

    My husband and I have been coming to RE for 4 years now! We highly recommend this conference to any and all foster and adoptive parents. We always leave feeling refreshed and encouraged. There’s just something about being in a room full of people who get it and have been there. It’s one of the best things that we can continue to do for our fostering and adoption journey. Not only does this conference bless us but it blesses our family as well. We can’t wait to be back next year!

  • Linda & Tom

    Well done. Loved the conference. This was our 3rd year attending and our 13th year fostering. I was reminded that we are just a piece of the puzzle that is God's Plan. I am not responsible for putting it all together and I might not get to see the completed work but I need to continue being faithful in what God has called us to do. Thank you for the encouragement.

  • Nancy

    This was an amazing weekend. It was great for my husband and I to get away by ourselves. We felt so understood by everyone at the conference. It was refreshing, educational, and encouraging. I would recommend attending to any adoptive or foster parent and I plan to bring some of my friends with us next year.
