Tracey was too young to remember her earliest days, but they would shape the rest of her life. She spent the first six months of her life in foster care before being placed with the parents who would adopt her.
Thirty years later, Tracy and her husband, Bob, wanted to start a family. They regularly ministered to children at their church and were like family to many kids in their community. Tracey’s health problems put their plans to adopt on hold.
According to recent estimates, there are more than 15,000 foster-care children in Arizona. Children range in age from newborn to 18 and are from diverse ethnicities and family backgrounds. Many in our community hear about the need for foster-care families to open their homes to these children, but few accept the challenge. According to current foster parents, the first step to helping Arizona’s foster crisis is to overcome the fear to foster.
