Uncommon Mom: DCS Drop Off.

There were 18,371 children in foster care in 2024. Let that number sink in. Each of those children represents a story—of loss, resilience, and hope. Behind that staggering statistic are real lives waiting for safety, for family, for love. Becky and Jordan know this all too well. Their journey into foster care began with a calling—a desire to help. Just nine days after they were officially licensed to provide trauma foster care, their phone wouldn't stop ringing. Each call was another child in need. Each voicemail carried urgency, heartache, and the weight of decision. Then came one call that changed everything. Within two years, Becky and Jordan went from a quiet house to a bustling home filled with laughter, sibling squabbles, bedtime stories, and healing. Three children—a brother and sisters who might otherwise have been separated—found comfort in staying together, thanks to them. They didn’t just open their home; they opened their hearts. And their journey was only just beginning.
