A Day Made Possible by Community
At Collierville First Baptist Church, an incredible group of volunteers, businesses, and community partners came together to create a memorable I Belong Project® experience for children and youth waiting for adoption in Tennessee.
The I Belong Project® gives kids the opportunity to share their personalities, interests, and stories through professional photos and videos, helping potential adoptive families see the incredible individuals behind each story.
These days are about so much more than capturing photos and videos. They’re about creating an environment where kids feel celebrated, valued, and seen.
From the moment kids arrived, they were surrounded by people who showed up with one shared purpose: to make sure every child knew they mattered.
Collierville First Baptist Church went above and beyond as our host partner, providing the venue, volunteers, meals, snacks, gifts for kids and social workers, crafts, balloons, and so many thoughtful details that made the day special.
Throughout the event, kids had opportunities to enjoy sweet treats, spend time with therapy dogs, participate in activities, and simply have fun while our media team captured their unique personalities.
Every detail reflected the generosity of a community willing to say yes to supporting kids experiencing foster care.
Meet the Kids
We are excited to introduce you to the incredible kids who joined us.
Click on each child’s image below to watch their I Belong Project® video, learn more about who they are and find information about their adoption needs.
As you meet them, there are three simple ways you can help:
WATCH their stories.
SHARE their videos and help more people see them.
INQUIRE if you believe your family may be a potential fit for a child.
Sometimes one share is all it takes for a child’s story to reach the right person.
A huge thank you to our partners!
Days like this are possible because people across the community choose to use what they already have to create something meaningful for children impacted by foster care.
