"The ache for home
lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be
questioned." -
Maya Angelou
What are
people saying about foster care and adoption?
| "Every time you see the
difference you make, it's like, 'Wow, this child has been brought
back to life!'" -- Paul B. (Boulder County foster parent) |
 |
| "The whole experience makes us stronger
people and better parents. And when they tell you they love you,
that makes it all worthwhile." -- George T. (Boulder County fost-adopt
parent talking about his adopted children) |
 |
"It seems so simple what I gave my
foster child: just a home and somebody who actually cared about her.
I look at her five years ago and I look at her now, and I don't see
any changes in the plan. I just knew that someday she would be this
amazing woman." --Cassandra R. (Boulder County fost-adopt parent) |
| "I stayed in a group home for a little
while because I had no place to stay, and that was not fun. The
chances of somebody wanting to take you in are a lot slimmer when
you're as old as I was." --Diana S. (former Boulder County foster
child, now adopted) |
| "We saw a great need for foster
families. So many kids have no place to go." -- Dwendy T. (Boulder
County fost-adopt parent) |
 |
| "We go camping every year and it's
really fun catching toads. Dinner is the thing we all do together,
and it's nice because I get to see everybody at the table." --Mateo
T. (former Boulder County foster child, referring to his new
adoptive family) |
 |
"[Fostering] makes an immediate
difference locally. My foster son is able to thrive because of me."
--Elizabeth D. (Boulder County fost-adopt parent) |
| "I didn't think that I would ever get a
family." --Annie N. (former Boulder County foster child, now
adopted) |
| "That's the neat side of [fostering] -
when they are on their own, and they keep coming back." -- Teri. S.
(Boulder County foster parent) |
 |
| "I always wanted a big family. I'll
take more and more." -- Terri N. (Boulder County fost-adopt parent) |
 |
"That would be my biggest wish since
I've done this. I wish that other people out there would realize
that there are matches to be made. They don't know how much they can
offer - or they don't know how much they can get in return." --
Cassandra R. (Boulder County fost-adopt parent) |
