Yes, Single People Can Become Foster Parents and Make a Huge Difference in Children’s Lives Fostering Change

Today we share the story of an amazing woman who has the biggest heart - the epitome of what we love to call a “Good Human”. 
We’ll learn how in the period of just 3 years, Kate Rapier quickly went from being single, to becoming a foster mom, soon an adoptive parent of two and then married to a man with 3 wonderful kids from a previous marriage!
Kate was single when she first began the process of becoming a foster parent in 2020.  And like many parents who take this journey, her life changed with a phone call that there was a child coming into custody that day and would she be able to take her?  Just about 5 hours after stating an emphatic “YES”, a caseworker arrived with 1-week old “Gigi”.
After having adopted Gigi in 2021, she was just six weeks into dating her now husband when she received another life-changing phone call. This time about baby Ryland.  
You’ll hear Kate share more about her life with Gigi, Ryland and her new family and this amazing journey she is on. 
Kate is one of the loveliest people you’ll meet. We know you’ll agree and will enjoy her story as much as we have.
