Foster Testimonials

The joys of foster parenting, right from the source.

Child Safe Michigan's old site shares firsthand stories from foster and adoptive parents.

Ordinary people making an extraordinary difference.

“We did not realize foster parenting was a way for ordinary people to make an extraordinary difference in the children's lives.”
Dana O'Farrell, Child Safe Michigan Foster & Adoptive Parent
“When people ask me why I would want to be a foster parent, there is a quote that comes to mind. It is the instinct of every woman to love most her own child, and to make any child that needs her love, her own. For me, it is as simple as that.”
Barbara Lucido, Child Safe Michigan Foster Parent
“Our Child Safe Michigan Social Worker, Eric, is so patient and understanding. If I have a question he is there to make sure I get answers. Everything Eric has done for our family has meant the world to us.”
Danielle Warner, Child Safe Michigan Foster Parent
