The Carter family—Maddie, Will, and their sons Lincoln and Levi—began their foster care journey in 2025 after the heartbreaking loss of their third son, Lucas, who passed away at six months old due to complex medical conditions. Lucas’s life and medical challenges deeply reshaped the family’s perspective, strengthening their faith and inspiring them to open their home to children in need. What once felt intimidating, became a calling they felt uniquely prepared for through their own experience. With the support of their church and community, the Carter’s now view foster care not as filling a void, but as a mission to offer hope and healing, trusting that God will equip them for every step.
