Foster Parent and ChildEvery night in America, nearly half a million children go to bed in foster care. They have been removed from homes broken by death, divorce, drugs, alcohol, physical or sexual abuse, illness or financial hardship.

Perhaps you do, but those who have been there say it requires courage, empathy, patience and tenacity as well as love.
