Additional Notes and Information:
The acreage we live on is a wooded area and features a large yard and small lake. Our ranch-style home is located in the country on a 12 acre lot. Someone who moves into our home will have their own bedroom while our family shares common areas including a living room upstairs and family room in the basement. We share household tasks as a family. We have three yellow labs, 2 indoor/outdoor cats and chickens. Our closest neighbor is a quarter of a mile away and Glenwood is 5 miles away. This rural environment offers us a quiet lifestyle raising our family. We have an 11 year old daughter at home. Our family also includes three grown sons who have moved out and started their own careers. lssmn.org/hosthomes

Additional Notes and Information:
We look forward to the opportunity to welcome a child into our lives and share the aspects of life we love the most — from playing board games or sitting around a toasty bonfire to swimming or going on camping trips. We are always open to trying new activities, and we would love to know more about what makes you happy. We are happiest when we’re able to spend time together as a family or in nature fishing, going for walks or riding our bicycles. Our faith is a very important part of our lives, and we are active in our church. One of us is a registered nurse. We have cared for more than 80 children in our decade of foster parenting. We are ready to support the physical, medical and emotional needs of any child who needs a loving home.
