Letting Foster Children Get Crafty!

It’s 9:00 pm on a Friday night and my husband Allan and I are binge watching Schitts Creek. The phone rings and a friendly voice says, “Hi Silvana. Can you take two tonight? We do emergency foster care, so I know that “Can you take two tonight?” means two children have been removed from a dangerous situation and need a place to stay. Foster children come to our house for 72 hours, giving the social worker time to find a long-term foster home.
