place to raise children Horace BIyth says now certainly raised enough of them one time too children going into foster care clean break with their own family and in returning to their family never saw foster family again I think that must have been hard The adjustment a child had to make coming into was a big one Mrs BIyth said Now the Blyths work with the natural families to help the children get settled in their own homes again Being a foster parent takes a lot of love Mr BIyth maintains The children need a lot of love especially the special children those who have been abused or those with emotional problems And they need a firm form of discipline We treat them all the would our own children fcven though the have retired they are still looking forward to having more foster children Mrs
