“These kids come in broken and many times we “fix” them to some degree. Just knowing that each child in my home felt loved and safe, even for those brief moments, was and remains to be the reason of why this is worth it. |
“My foster family they are really cool. I really like them. There is no difference in the family between us. They see me as their little sister, big sister, granddaughter, and daughter.” -M, FCS Foster Youth |
“It was what I wanted in a family. I love my foster mom and my sisters.” -A, FCS Foster Youth“My foster parents helped me find my forever family.” -Webb Family, FCS Foster Family |
“I know that I am safe and loved in foster care.” -Anonymous, FCS Foster Youth |
“I’m inspired by my dad…because he has shown me the kind of person I want to become as a young man. The first thing that inspires me is he is in the Army. He is a Chief and he teaches soldiers. Another example is that he plays video games with the children and he is a good foster dad. My foster dad is good to me by speaking the truth and teaching me to be respectful. In conclusion, he has patience and is helpful. This is why I look up to him as an honorable role model.” -C, FCS Foster Youth |
