Tapestry is a community of families and individuals that are connected in some way or another by the common bonds of adoption and foster care. We are couples who have traveled the road of infertility; we are couples and singles alike who have felt God’s call to adopt or foster; we are families with children who look like their parents and families with children who do not; we are families whose members represent birth countries and cultures from five continents; we are families whose members speak different languages; we are those who are in the waiting process; we are those whose wait has just recently come to an end; we are adoptive families and foster families – and the list goes on. 

In the end, we are families just the same, and we believe that God is doing something truly remarkable among us as He forms families and transforms lives through the miracle of adoption.
