Foster children receiving something to hold onto in times of change

Part 2 of 2

Statistics show that in 2019, over 672,000 children spent time in U.S. foster care with them remaining in state care, on average, for 18 months.

“There is such a need for foster parents,” said Abi Aswegen of Belmond.

She and her husband, Caleb, have been foster parents for more than a year and a half and know first-hand just how badly more foster parents are needed to provide homes for kids in tough family situations. For example, in a two-week timeframe, the Aswegens were contacted 11 times to take in more children.
