What some of our current foster parents have to say:
After ten years together Pat and I felt like we knew each other pretty well. We decided to become foster parents because we both love kids.
We like the idea of our home and hearts being filled with children. And we've learned more about ourselves and each other in the past three years than we ever expected.
