Testimonial: Bill and June (foster parents): “I was adopted. I know how blessed I was, and still am, that a family chose to love me and care for me. I want to do that for someone else. That’s why we foster… and over the years, we’ve gotten to be a part of so many lives and families. It’s just wonderful.” |
