This Conference is for YOU.

Regardless of where you are in your adoption, foster care, kinship, or Safe Families journey, we've created something special, just for you.

Scholarships

We don't want finances to be the reason a family doesn't get support. We have scholarships available for all registration types.

Scholarship Application

Pre-Conference

Our pre-conference sessions offer an opportunity to slow down, go deeper on one topic, and start the weekend feeling supported and prepared. These optional sessions take place before the main conference and are designed to provide focused learning, practical tools, and meaningful connection in a smaller-group setting. More information on the sessions being offered this year will be available the beginning of March.

Breakout Sessions

The Replanted Conference offers a wide variety of breakout sessions designed to meet foster and adoptive parents where they are. Topics range from trauma-informed parenting strategies and navigating complex systems like legal, educational, and medical care, to strengthening marriages, prioritizing caregiver self-care, and exploring identity and culture in adoption and foster care. Select the sessions that best meet you in your current season.

Exhibit

The annual Replanted Conference is like no other and we expect over 500 attendees. Our exhibit hall is set up to help families during the conference in finding post-placement support and tools to assist them in their foster/adoption journey. If you represent a ministry or organization that would like to be present during Replanted to offer post-placement support, we'd love to hear from you!

No Way! Gifts

In his book, Love Does, Bob Goff talks about how God’s love for us is fun, silly at times, and crazy! He called it “whimsy.” At Replanted we call it “No Way!” because that’s what our families yell when they catch one of our beach balls. These gifts express God’s extravagant love to our families and you can be part of it.

Volunteer

The Replanted Conference is only possible because of the vast team of volunteers that help make it happen. We need a robust volunteer team to make sure that the Replanted conference runs as smoothly as possible. This is a great opportunity to serve our families in a tangible way.
