It's nothing new. Often our teens lose their way and, for a time, they go astray. A mother • pleads and sheds a tear. A father laments his dreaded fear...our son is arrested for wrong he's done. Why have we failed with another one? Perhaps there's a mother to foster our teen and a foster father from whom he'll gl^an hope and direction to malce a new start, to rebuild a family that's broken apart. Yes, mothers are needed and fathers, too, to carry forth what we tried to do. We're caring parents overcome with emotion. We seem to have lost that magic potion. Is there a family with love to share, a dresser, a bed and an extra chair? We pray there's someone with time to give to show our teenager how to live. Perhaps he'll respond in foster care. We'll give support and we'll be there. If you can help for a^ime at all, pick up your phone and place a call.
