The mission of Moms Adopting Moms was inspired by the story of our founder and former foster parent Mary. Mary supported and encouraged the mother of the children that came into her care twice in a five year period. She was there to help her get off drugs, get away from abusive relationships, and find healing from the trauma of her past to become the wife, mom, and member of society she always prayed of being. Mary, her husband Alan, and daughter Chloe figuratively adopted Christina's whole family and now work to encourage other foster parents to do the same.
