We have two biological daughters and felt we have the space and the interest to have more children. Jesus tells us to open our homes to those who need it. We are currently fostering to adopt two little boys. This opportunity has blessed our family. It has been amazing to watch all four children grow physically, and how they have grown in their love for each other. – COBYS Resource Parent Monica
