November is National Adoption Month which highlights the need for adoptive families for children in the foster care system. Fostering is often times the first step towards adoption and foster families give children opportunities to develop their full potential, physically, academically, socially, and emotionally. In this video we showcase an Onslow County foster family that opened their home and hearts to a child in need.
