That's an incredible family. We took in a friend of my youngest son's. He became a part of our family for two years. I went to his basketball games, fixed his lunch, did his laundry. He still calls me mom. It was probably as rewarding for our family as it was for him. This was an awesome read. Gretchen

Good morning, Wendy,
What a selfless couple and what a heartwarming story of dedication and caring for the most vulnerable among us. I simply cannot fathom the thought of hurting an innocent child or casting away a human life. For David and Carolyn to open their home and hearts to so many children is, indeed, a blessing of countless proportions...

If I may, this particular sentence may need an edit:
Even as child she found herself upset because the next family might not know the meaning of certain cries of the child, or understand his little ways.

Thank you for sharing, Wendy!

What a beautiful story, Wendy, to share this Mother's Day. What a great legacy this lady and her husband have. Their compassion and love are special. I like the words you quoted: "God expects us to use the gifts He gives us for as long as we are able."
Happy Mother's Day to you.

God bless the King and Queen and Carol and David. Heroic would be their claim to fame. I cannot imagine the reward they felt babying all those children, but will know how they'll feel again when life is done and they meet them all in heaven.

Of course, Carolyn used her award to raise awareness of the necessity for other carers, as she realizes her day will come when she is no longer able and must be replaced by another so willing and capable.

What an extraordinary woman she was! Thank you so much for bringing her story to us. She's such an inspiring mother.

These sorts of people are the heroes in life, those who dedicate themselves to looking after other people's children to give them a good start in life; and I was honoured to read about this lady who has no plans to stop her good work. A fine post Wendy, love Dolly x

Another great story, Wendy, and a very appropriate one for today. I've known some super-carers myself, and what they will endure for the good of these poor damaged children continues to amaze me.
Happy Mums' Day, Julie

Wow, that's an incredible couple! Actually, I hear of that kind of giftedness among some our American foster moms, one did all that all on her own as a single mom. Praise God for giving these mothers such devotion and patience!

This woman has to be admired as well as her husband. To take in that many foster children is quite an accomplishment. My husband and I were foster parents to12 girls who were trouble teenagers. Patricia
