Words From Our Indiana Foster Parents

"I have a lot to teach and I want to make a difference in the world. My experience with Indiana Mentor has been wonderful—I receive support even after business hours, and there’s a great level of empathy from staff. I focus on how far the kids have come since being in my home."

"I want to provide a safe, stable, and loving environment for children who have experienced neglect, trauma, or instability. Fostering is a way to directly impact a child’s life for the better and give back to the community. Helping a child heal, grow, and succeed gives me deep emotional rewards and a sense of purpose."
