The importance of providing safe, loving homes for all foster children

Doug and Vicki Evick create a welcoming home for all, whether for a season or the future

“It’s too hard” is not a valid reason for not fostering. 
 
Foster parents Doug and Vicki Evick have fostered 21 children in the span of eight years. All but one of those children, they continue to see on a regular basis. They show up for ballgames, birthday parties and special events. Some of the children stay at their house for a week during the summer. Vicki says when a child leaves their care, they go from Daddy Doug and Mommy Vicki to Pop and Grandma.  
 
“If the only reason that you're not fostering is because it would be hard for you to say goodbye. That's saying to a child, I can help you. I can keep you safe. I can love you. But I'm not willing to do that because it's going to be hard for me when you move on,” remarked Vicki.
