August 21, 2025: Lifeline Children’s Services joins with countless others in mourning the passing of Dr. James Dobson, a faithful servant whose life and ministry profoundly shaped the way Christians care for children and families.
As the founder of Focus on the Family, Dr. Dobson was a tireless advocate for the value of every child’s life. His voice reminded the Church of her responsibility to champion the vulnerable, whether in the womb, in foster care or waiting for the love of a forever family through adoption.
His influence has left a lasting legacy in the lives of children who found safety in foster care and belonging through adoption. We are grateful for his faithful witness and pray for comfort for his family.
