"Although it's a hard journey in their life, I enjoy seeing them blossom into their own being through the love of foster parents, church, and teachers.'

"Ayudar a los niños que son nuestro futuro es lo mejor que me ha pasado en mi vida. Mis mayores experiencias han sido poder ver a los niños sonreír, saber de sus sueños y poder ayudar a que los logren. Poder estar ahí para darles la mano cuando lo necesitan, para motivarlos y enseñarles que todo en la vida se puede lograr."

"Opening our home to foster care has opened our hearts to love and nurture children when they need us the most. Seeing those little eyes hurting is heartbreaking but being able to comfort them is priceless."

"We tend to look at children like they have poor behavior instead of focusing on their troubled life. Donde ay un nino con problemas es porque hay un problema detrás del niño. I am so happy to be doing this because if we do not help these kids, who will."

"Tal vez no podemos cambiar el mundo pero podemos cambiar el mundo de un niño en cuidado. Todos necesitamos una casa en la que vivir, pero una familia unida y amorosa es lo que construye la casa."

Dear Rosie, thank you for helping me with my emotions. I will miss you a lot. My favorite memory will be meeting you.

I thank Angelica for being a wonderful counselor and for always being there for me and talking things out...I also thank her for helping me and my mom to get closer and better understand one another.

I love when you teach me how to be a good boy.
