A Forever Family Via Foster Care – by Cecil Stokes
This week, I'm excited to present to you, "A Forever Family Via Foster Care" by Cecil Stokes. When researching articles on adoption this year, I came across the Boone & Me ministry. I had heard Cecil speak at the Blue Ridge Christian Writers Conference several years ago. I was aware of some of his great work, especially as the producer of one of my favorite movies, October Baby.
