Embrace Alabama Kids

Embrace Alabama Kids In response to God’s Word, we embrace and nurture vulnerable children and families by providing homes, healing and hope.

We provide homes, hope, and healing to families, children, and youth impacted by abuse and neglect through a number of homes and programs. We care for children, teens and college-age youth through residential group homes and a foster care program. However, we also work with families to address harmful behavior through our Family Preservation program which provides interventions for families who are at risk for having their children removed or working toward reunifying with their children. Most recently, we've expanded our ministry with a home for homeless women and children, a population that merges with our service footprint of serving vulnerable children and families. Ministry Highlight: Through our Babies First program, we provide teen mothers in foster care with love, acceptance and stability in the midst of adversity stemming from neglect, abuse or abandonment. Housing both a teen mother and her baby, we provide all the resources necessary for them to live, grow and thrive. Due to the various challenges associated with caring for a teen mother, our program is known throughout the state of Alabama for its ability to provide customized care for this population of vulnerable youth. This program is made possible by funding through the Alabama Department of Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention.

For 25 years, Lori Sansom Foreman has been a dedicated part of the Embrace family, serving children, youth and families across Alabama and Northwest Florida with incredible care and commitment.

Lori began her career with Embrace right out of school and has done so much more than serve as a program director — from licensing foster families, planning mission trips, sharing meals and conversations, answering countless calls to help to showing up in the stands and seats at school functions. Through every season, Lori has made it a priority to simply be there for the young people we serve.

Lori, thank you for 25 years of showing up, building relationships and helping provide homes, healing and hope. We are incredibly grateful for the difference you have made in the lives of so many children, youth and families.

Please join us in congratulating Lori on 25 years of faithful service! 💙
