1-28-18: Mary Lou & Kayla Ballasone, Laurie Hardie, Foster care, adoption, www.lcsnw.org

Mary Lou Balasone, as a single woman, chose adoption to create her family. She was offered a brother and sister and welcomed them to her home. Kayla joins her mom to give us insights into foster care and adoption, which is the route Luther Community Services uses. It is a journey with bumps along the way, but it is such a critically important one that ultimately touches all of us. But the focus is on the children, to provide stability, to provide a home and love. Laurie Hardie provides info on all the great ways Lutheran Community Services helps families and individuals on this journey. www.lcsnw.org , [email protected] 206-694-5713
