Rachel is the founder and executive director of Fostering Together Gulf Coast, a nonprofit that serves children in foster care and foster and adoptive families. Rachel and her husband Stephen have been foster parents for eleven years, during which time they have cared for over 20 children, and have adopted three. They currently have a home full of five teenage boys that keep them running from one activity to the next, and keep them wondering who ate all the food. Rachel began Fostering Together in 2019 after experiencing the joys and challenges that come with being a foster family. ..... Want to watch this episode?

This little seed of an idea was planted in the soil of my heart 7 years ago. I repeat 7 years ago. Reflecting back I now see that while I felt as if nothing was happening, nothing was changing, dare I say nothing was growing I was indeed wrong. Like plants, the Lord must grow the roots before he grows the fruit. As I enter into this new season I’m more excited than ever before. This little shoot 🌱 and its roots are ready to spring up with fresh vision and precision! I would be honored if you followed along and joined us as we @growandplant in obedience!
