Two years ago, Holly and David became foster parents for the first time. Along their journey, they received an unexpected opportunity that gave them the family they have now.

After being asked to foster a newborn, Charlotte, in 2017, they decided to adopt her. Soon after, they became aware of her siblings also in foster care, Robert (10), Lily (6), Ellie (4) and Matthew (3). Throughout the past couple years, they were involved with Highfields' Parent Management Training, where they learned how to manage each child's behaviors, such as anxiety, withdrawn moods and understanding consequences, through promoting social skills and cooperation.

"Highfields was like having another family member. They helped us in our journey as adoptive parents, creating a stable place for the children with guidance and direction."
