Meet Our Families - Tony & Veronica

Meet Tony and Veronica! They have been foster parents for almost 3 years and have 3 biological children in addition to a 6-month old boy placed in their home.

Beginnings
Uncertain about having biological children, we felt called to open our hearts and home anyway. Welcoming a stranger into our home, especially one in need, became our way of extending the same unconditional love and belonging that God has provided us. Tony, having experienced the gift of stability as a kinship placement himself, carries a strong commitment to provide the same steady, consistent presence for a child or family facing uncertainty.

Likes
As foster parents, our primary role is to provide a safe, stable, and loving temporary home and to offer daily care while helping children feel secure and valued. One of the most rewarding things about fostering is knowing that you have provided the love that a small child needed when they needed it the most.

Challenges
The fostering process is often lengthy and unpredictable, allowing deep, genuine bonds to form between foster parents and children. While beautiful, this closeness can make transitions especially difficult.

Advice
Every child is different and has different needs, which can bring many challenges. It takes as much compassion, nurturing, and grit to rear a child placed in your home as it does to bring up your own biological children. Our encouragement is to not give up, as nothing is every easy, but the rewards supersede the trials.
