WOODWARD, OK – Could your household add 3 or more children at once? Not many can. That’s why foster children in sibling sets of 3 or more have only a 65% chance of staying together in foster care. Siblings from abuse and neglect situations often have a unique and deep bond with each other. Separating them is a deeply traumatic experience.

Oklahoma United Methodist Circle of Care and Woodward First United Methodist Church are partnering to keep siblings together in Woodward County. Circle of Care recruits, trains and supports foster parents statewide. Woodward First United Methodist Church has donated the land and is rallying the community to raise funds which Circle of Care will match 100%.

Construction is expected to be complete by the beginning of the summer. Families have already been identified to live in the homes and accept foster sibling sets as soon as the homes are ready. The last phase of the fundraising is for furnishings. A video showcasing furniture and room sponsorship opportunities are available at legacy.circleofcare.org.
