    Unmasked: The Real Foster Parents

    There's nothing special about us, but God has given us the ability to love kids no matter what.

    -Samantha

    It’s easy to think someone else will do it or that is takes a ‘special person’ to foster. But the truth is that it takes normal people being willing to share in the sorrows of children.

    -Troy

    It makes me so uncomfortable when people say, ‘Oh, you’re a saint. I couldn’t imagine doing that.’ We’re not saints! We’re not any different from anyone else. We’ve just chosen to put our ‘yes’ on the table.
