Founded: 2009

Mission
To provide foster children with a safe and nurturing family home until adoption and offer jobs and educational opportunities to juvenile detention residents.

Vision
That foster children will be physically and mentally prepared to join their forever families and for juvenile girls to become self-sufficient, educated, and responsible members of their families and society.

Profile
Connie’s Home was established to care for sick infants that are awaiting adoption. Often these children are set aside after being added to the adoption lists because their unaided health conditions progress and eventually results in their being removed from the list. It is the mission of Connie’s Home staff to recognize the value and potential of each child, nursing them back to health until the children can be successfully adopted, usually before reaching school age. Each child receives the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual care that will help them through the adoption transition ahead.

Connie’s Home makes every effort to develop our staff and provide opportunities for their professional growth. We partner with external organizations to train some of our staff to become au pairs to work in western homes. All of our staff are professionally trained to follow strict safety guidelines and understand benchmarks in childcare and development. We also provide live-in, on the job training for young women who are finishing their sentence at the Chiang Mai (Women’s) Juvenile Detention Center. As these young women learn to care for children, they receive life and job skills training that will help establish their lives on a more stable foundation.

In everything, our focus is expressing Christ’s love through life changing relationships in a family environment that fosters development and growth in each individual.
