Foster Parents: Making the world a better place

Can you imagine receiving a call in the middle of the night and being asked to take in a child who has been removed from an abusive or neglectful home? Hundreds of foster parents are familiar with this scenario because every day, they’re helping children adjust to new people, new schools and new communities. So, what does it take to become a foster parent? George Winn, chief operations officer, and Bobby Wade, foster care recruiter, The Children’s Center, dispel the myths and realities of foster care as we celebrate National Foster Care Awareness Month.
