Meet Dee and Rick<\/h1>\n\n\n

Dee and Rick are the only foster family in their small community. They have 10 biological children (three of whom still live at home), one adopted child and currently have four children in foster care living in their home. With so many children, they lean on their community, a team of clergy, coaches, grandparents, adult children and other extended family members for support. All the children and youth in their home are involved in sports and other after-school activities, where their community team also steps up to help get the kids to their activities, as well as attend events together to cheer on one another. During their time as foster parents, the Lockharts have cared for children and youth of all ages and levels of need, while working with biological parents to help children and youth return home when it is safe to do so.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
