A family doesn’t become whole all at once.
Sometimes forever comes through adoption.
Sometimes love shows up through foster care.
"We advise others that it's not necessarily what you're going to get out of it, it's what you're going to put into the lives of the youth in your home," the Buchanan's said.
One child’s identity is protected because their foster care journey is still unfolding, but their place in the Buchanan's heart is already clear.
"We've had nearly 18 placements and only adopted one, we're a foster to adopt family and are now possibly going be able to adopt another boy now," the Buchanan's said. "While we have them, something we know we can teach them are the two most important things, which is to love God and love others."
The Buchanan's want more households to fill the gap for foster youth, because some pieces that build a family are found immediately, but others could be waiting to become a part of the picture. 💙
