Open up your heart and home to be part of something bigger than you. The parent always works for the benefit of a child. Children in foster care need a safe place to live while their birth parents work through adversity. Foster parents are driven to provide a temporary stable home life and caring place for a child to live in within an environment of compassion and love until the child returns home. But for the kids that can not return home, 70% of kids adopted from foster care are adopted by their foster parents. That is a fantastic opportunity you give a kid for the rest of their life.
