About the Summit

Foster parenting is one of the most demanding and meaningful callings a family can embrace. The LIAC Foster Parent Summit 2025 is a morning designed to uplift, restore, and encourage foster parents and caregivers. Through an inspiring keynote, practical breakout sessions, and time for fellowship, you’ll leave refreshed—with new tools, new connections, and a renewed sense of hope.

This year’s theme, Ohana: Restore, Connect, Inspire, reflects our commitment to creating space where caregivers can pause, be poured into, and find encouragement for the journey ahead. Ohana means family, and no family gets left behind!
