Foster parents of medically fragile children with special needs, the Anderson couple gave these three boys a permanent home in the past three years with the help of KidsPeace Foster Care and Family Services, a foster care agency serving Delaware, Madison, Jay, Randolph, Blackford, Henry and Grant counties.
"Not many people want to take on the care of special needs children," Terry said. "Love and care is what they need. We have a gift to do just that."
Jeramiah has physical ailments from being born prematurely. Brandon has a metabolic disorder. And Elijah is still recuperating from injuries he suffered from a self-afflicted gunshot wound after he had found a gun under his birth father's bed. At one time, he couldn't hold up his head or talk.
Any day now, the couple expect the adoption to be finalized of yet another foster son, whom they have affectionately nicknamed Angel.
