Foster parents pouring their hearts into young people
By Emily Wireman
SECH Foster Parent
My husband, Bill, and I have always prayed for God to open and close doors. He recently opened a door for my family and me to come and live at Southeastern Children’s Home! Bill is a youth minister, and I have taught middle school students for 27 years. We invest and pour our hearts into young people. We love the Lord and children with all our hearts.
We stepped into a ministry of people who love the Lord, have a vision for serving children, and have welcomed my family as part of their family. We have been blessed to foster at least fifty children in the past six years, and to adopt a sibling group of three beautiful children. We also have five amazing biological children.
My heart is overwhelmed with gratitude for the leadership of SECH. This has been a smooth process and has allowed us to live in a beautiful home, on an amazing campus, which is a child’s dream. We are thrilled to be part of a ministry that supports us on our journey of fostering God’s children.
We are thankful for the SECH staff and the generosity and kindness they have shown us! For walking us through the transition of changing our license, getting new children, and being a strong advocate for our family! For welcoming us with open arms! It warms my heart to be a part of an organization that has weekly staff meetings and shares prayer requests and a devotional.
I want to personally thank each of the precious donors, churches, wonderful volunteers, and businesses that have been an incredible blessing to our family! I know many of you gave during Christmas. I wish I could convey the smiles, excitement, and overwhelming joy I witnessed during the Christmas season. We will always remember Christmas 2023 as a special time when God showered us with His love through Godly people like you! Thank you for being Jesus’s hands and feet and giving to Bill, myself, and our children as we celebrated the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ!
I am excited to see what the Lord has in store for Southeastern Children’s Home and our family! I look forward to the many lives that will be changed forever for His glory and His honor!
