Our fifth child started out as a babysitting job but when his father abandoned him a few months later and his mother was nowhere to be found, we became his foster parents. Two years ago we adopted him into our family.
We recently bought a house in Ocean county, New Jersey and plan on fostering disabled and disadvantaged children. We are firm believers in Jesus Christ and are constantly studying the truth.
