About Our Work

Second Mothers is a global, faith-based community of women who care for children born to others—foster, adoptive, stepmothers, kinship caregivers, and guardians. 

Founded by Jodi Jackson Tucker, it offers encouragement, spiritual support, and practical resources for this unique journey

The Values of a

Second Mother

Conviction

She did not turn away.  In conviction, she risked everything to reach a child.

Pharaoh’s Daughter knew that she was called to change a life. By doing so, she changed the future of the world. 

You have followed your convictions and are living out the call on your life, despite challenges and trials. 

Courage

With courage, Pharaoh’s Daughter seized the moment presented to her.

In that pivotal moment, she acted with extreme courage. She pulled a child from death to destiny. He went on to become one of the greatest leaders of all time. 

You are also part of the great story of courageous women who love the vulnerable child.

Character

Pharaoh’s Daughter is one of the great heroines of all history.

Her name does not matter because it was her character that changed everything.

People will remember you as women of great character who showed a love so great that it changed a child’s life.
