After five of their six children left high school and moved out of the family home, an Alabama couple made a huge decision—they decided to become licensed therapeutic foster parents.

Willie and Teresa Smith’s fostering journey began in 2003, and hit an emotional peak on July 22, 2020, when the couple adopted two special boys: Kristopher and Lucas.
