- My husband and I have fostered 4 children, 2 of whom we adopted.
- We have attended many hours of training in how to love children from hard places. Much of the training had to do with attachment, connection, and learning how to respond to the needs of children who have faced trauma.
- I have built relationship with the biological mothers of our foster children when possible. I enjoy friendships with these women who have experienced so much trauma of their own.
- My husband and I are doing our best, with God's help, to build a beautiful life with our two living children. We feel so blessed to have them in our lives.
