Foster Care Videos

Fostering is a journey, as any foster parent will tell you. It’s not always easy, it’s hardly ever simple but it always matters. We want to share the laughter, tears and love of all our families through our foster care videos so that you may one day consider joining our foster care community.

Brian and John never could have imagined the joy that would come from being foster parents. Watch how two men fostered four kids, dealt with a drug addicted baby, and handled the hardest moment of their lives. To FAFS, they and their family are true #FosterCareSuperheroes.
