Over those 10 years the Meeks' have foster parented about 140 children. Their foster parenting began after Beverly saw a commercial on television. Beverly called the Volunteers of America and made an appointment to see them. And a whole lot of patience. Now, I just love it.
Many children have behavioral problems.
They are quick to throw a temper tantrum, disagree or argue. And it is a very stressful situation. Therapy includes behavior modification, or is for children that have been sexually abused or are in some type of crisis prevention. And you become attached to the children that come in your home because you're with them all the time. The foster parents try to make their home as normal as possible for the children.
