Heart of Rural America: Nebraska Ranch Mom Talks Foster Care
It’s been said that the farm and ranch is the best place to raise children. As a mom of four kids, I feel so blessed to be able to teach kids about life, faith, family, community, and being true stewards of the land, livestock, and the people around them through the avenue of raising cattle.
A calling from God led Tyler and I to becoming foster parents in 2019, and since then, we’ve had a dozen kids come and go on the ranch. It’s been a humbling experience and a shared family mission that has taught us plenty of lessons and has helped us grow in our faith, as well.
At at the core of it all, it’s a reality check that many kids in our rural communities come from tough places, and these vulnerable children may, at times, need a safe, loving home. That’s where foster parents come in, and on this week’s episode, I chat with fellow foster mom and Nebraska cattle rancher, Jessie Grote, to discuss her experiences as a foster mom and the new organization they have started to continue to serve families stepping into these hard spaces.
