FOSTER FRIDAY
Introducing Steven and Katherine
Steven and Katherine of the Camelot Community Care family! They are an incredibly sweet and kind family who have dedicated themselves fully to the task of fostering. They were eager to facilitate visits between siblings and ensure that the children who joined their home had all of the supports necessary to promote their growth and development. They maintain excellent communication with the team in their advocacy for the children’s needs. The family is coming up on their first-year mark and we look forward to many more years with them on our team!
Introducing Christy and Carl
Carl and Christy have been foster parents for the past 5 years. They have fostered multiple children over the years. Carl and Christy have assisted in the transition of children to their biological families, provided a forever home to one child and continue to foster. Carl and Christy ensure that each child they welcome into their home is nurtured and loved whether that is for a short time or a lifetime. We thank you both for your ongoing commitment.
Introducing Brittany and Kinson
Brittany and Kinson have been foster parents since April of 2018 and have had over 25 placements since. Amongst those 25 placements not all have been easy, the caregivers have showed nothing but a pure genuine heart to help children from all backgrounds. Even if the caregiver’s home is considered “maxed-out” they stride to accommodate, especially with teen mothers and sibling groups. An admirable trait of the family is they stay in touch; even if children have transitioned elsewhere or been reunified. They have been caring for a teenage girl with a significant trauma history who has been in and out of their home a few times and have been working on setting loving boundaries to keep her safe. In times where she was not able to remain in their home, they made it their priority to stay in contact with her and remind her they set those in place because they care. Their love was able to shine through and the teenage girl was able to be transitioned back into their home due to the caregivers being present and staying in her life. This is just a brief glimpse of many of the lives this family has changed and we look forward to all the children’s lives they will continue to change in the future. They have been nothing but a blessing to our One More Child family.

Introducing Jon and Jaci
Jon and Jaci have been licensed foster parents with One More Child since December 2019. They were previously licensed foster parents in the past and decided to reopen their home to children and their families, as they know there is a great need in our community. Since they have been licensed, they have gone above and beyond for the children placed in their home. They have been open to mentoring relationships with biological families, helping with transportation to any needed appointments, and just representing what it truly means to foster children in need. Jon, Jaci, and their children are loving, and caring to all who enter their home. They are humble, generous, and kind. It has been wonderful collaborating with this family in the last year and we are excited to see how much more they will accomplish with their gracious and selfless attitudes.
Introducing Laura and Michael
Laura and Michael are new members of the Camelot foster family community who have an incredible passion and motivation to provide care for sibling groups. They have a large family themselves and have not only welcomed the children that joined their home with open arms but have ensured that they feel equally as members of the family and have every opportunity to flourish as their own children do. Laura and Michael keep all of the children busy with summer camp, martial arts classes, Boy Scouts/Cub Scouts, and more! They advocate for the best interests of the children in their care and truly understand what it means to be a resource to their community.
