Meet the Founder
Hi, I’m Sommer Adebayo, the heart behind The Well Connected Family. As a foster and adoptive caregiver and an LPC-Associate, I’ve experienced firsthand the joys and challenges that come with parenting children from hard places. This website was born out of a deep calling to serve families like mine with faith, compassion, and practical tools that truly make a difference. Here, you’ll find encouragement for your journey, resources to strengthen your home, and a community that understands the unique path you’re walking. Whether you’re just starting or have been on this road for years, welcome home. ​
My journey into foster and adoptive caregiving wasn’t something I mapped out; it unfolded one faithful step at a time. Before I ever opened my home, I spent years in the classroom as an educator, where I first witnessed how deeply trauma can impact a child’s ability to learn, trust, and connect. Those early experiences opened my eyes and softened my heart in ways I didn’t fully understand until much later. When our family stepped into foster care, I realized just how needed strong, faith-rooted support really is, not only for the children, but for the caregivers as well.
​
That realization became the foundation for The Well Connected Family. It's a space shaped by lived experience and professional insight where biblical truth meets everyday challenges. Through this work, I combine my background in education and counseling with my calling as a caregiver to pour into families who are doing sacred work in unseen places. My hope is that this space feels like a deep breath, a helping hand, and a reminder that healing is possible one connection at a time.
