ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Future foster families are continuing their training during the coronavirus pandemic to make sure there are enough parents available to help kids in need.
Tara Tellier and Frances Cruz are opening their home and their hearts to foster children and they're hoping to one day adopt a child they help. "We decided a long time ago that this would be something we are interested in," Tellier said.
They are working with Embrace Families, the organization helps place children in foster homes in Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties.
Tellier and Cruz started their training with in-person classes, but the COVID-19 outbreak forced the nonprofit to embrace new changes to their program and switch to online classes.
