May is Foster Parent Appreciation Month.
It's a time to celebrate those who welcome children who need a stable home. It's also a time when local groups shine a light on the need for more foster families.

Representative Dave Severin (R-Benton) announced he is collecting toiletry and other personal care items for children placed in emergency foster care.

There were tears of joy, smiles and lots of hugs after each hearing at Williamson County courthouse Friday morning, with one Jackson County family saying "finally," after a year before being able to finalize the adoption of three siblings.
