he amount of children going into foster care has been decreasing recently, but the need for Foster Parents continues to increase, as agencies are dealing with a shortage. Lutheran Social Services Foster Care and Adoption worker Keatha McLeod tells us more about this shortage, and the need for foster parents. 

McLeoad is a foster parent herself, and she talks more about being a foster parent, and the rewarding moments, and challenges that come with it for both the parent, and the child. 

Lastly, McLeoad tells us more about the process of becoming a foster parent, and how interested parties can get started with the process.
