The rewards of being a foster parent are many. You can
make a difference in a child's life just by being in it. Just by
being you. When you make the decision to open your heart
and open your home to a child in need, you're offering
much-needed love, guidance and support. At times it is a
demanding job, one that requires patience and persistence,
but the emotional and personal rewards that come with it are
unlike any other.
