I know, Amy. I was so impressed that those men were serving as mentors--the fact that they then became parents, in addition, was really heartwarming!

The great part about the stories, to me, was that they showed children who were above toddler age. In the foster care system, that is the reality of kids who are available. I know to potential parents, the thought of adopting older children can be scary. These kids all looked so well-adjusted and thrilled to have parents that I hope it reassures those people who were considering an older child adoption to see that it can be a great thing.
