Tnis story touched my heart because we too have adopted foster children ,5 in all. I can attest to the fact that love for a child is not bound by blood or biology. we have 3 adult children and they love their siblings the same way they do each other. This couple is doing what Americans do best ,changing the world right where you are.. and I am grateful to be a part of making this world a better place for children

Dear Fred & Tina,

I have wanted more children for so long and really considered foster care because I know there is a real need out there. I believe that God put people and messages in our lives at the right time for a reason and I believe your story is a message for me (and I’m sure many others). God bless you and your family. Thank you for being part of the solution for a better world in your generosity and selfishness. We need more people like you.

God bless and Merry Christmas,
Rita Christle

As a former foster parent your story touched me. We have tried to adopt for several years. Foster care was one of the ways we tried to reach our goal of adopting. We have struggled with infertility, so the attachment you talked about was a huge issue for us. We were really taken advantage of by our state DHHR, and we have decided not to do foster care again. Our state placed an abandoned infant with us at 6 days old. For six months they told us we would be able to adopt her. One day they called us and said they were moving her to another state with a sibling (one of four, that were all in different homes), and the next day she was gone. Workers told us that we should not get attached to foster children, and they didn’t call us for more placements. We have moved on to trying with an actual adoption agency, and our hearts ache everyday for our baby. We could never survive another loss like that, and I am sure you can understand because you share that love with your children. I didn’t expect a guaranteed adoption, I just expected honesty. That is something we have never found with our state’s DHHR. We can’t even get a worker to call us back about children that are legally free for adoption. Hopefully one day we will get the chance to share our life and love with a child. I just can’t believe that adopting a child is this hard. I can’t understand why people would rather abort a child instead of giving it life by choosing loving adoptive parents. God Bless You for all you have done for those children……..
