WE ARE SO GLAD YOU ARE
a part of our lifeline family.

We know Christian community is a key part of any family’s journey into adoption or foster care. That’s part of why we strive to provide you with opportunities to meet in person (through Family Reunions and conferences), and through resources like Journey magazine.
We consider Lifeline families to be those who have completed the home study portion of their adoption or have been through the licensing process as a foster family.

ALUMNI
Journey magazine.

 

Journey is Lifeline’s alumni magazine. Crafted especially for our alumni families, Journey is filled with helpful tips, resources, and encouraging stories from other alumni families just like you. We’re grateful to be able to provide this resource for you (both in digital form, and in print).

Get the print edition

As a part of the Lifeline Family we would love to celebrate your child(ren)’s homecoming and exciting milestones with you. If your family has recently come home or experienced a milestone this year please share it with us and you could be featured in future articles or the next Journey edition.
