“I considered fostering for years before I acted upon the desire. I honestly felt that as a single mom I would put the kids at a disadvantage by not offering them a full family dynamic. As I watched the news and was exposed to the real life stories of experiences others had in the foster care system, my thought process began to change. I realized how important simply having a safe place to heal and receive love was for anyone…even myself. This thought process opened my heart and mind to fostering as a single mom. I didn’t want to save the world or be an enforcer for change…. I simply wanted to be a safe place for them to heal.”
