May is National Foster Care Month. A month set aside to acknowledge foster parents, family members, volunteers, mentors, policymakers, and child welfare professionals. As well as other members of the community who help children and youth in foster care find permanent homes and connections. During National Foster Care Month, we renew our commitment to ensuring a bright future for children and teens in foster care. We celebrate all those who make a meaningful difference in their lives.

We interviewed four foster parents to find out why they became foster parents. Also to discover how they are impacting the lives of children and families.
