Welcome to Hearts Open Wide! I’m Maxwell Foster, and I’m thrilled to share my journey and insights into the world of fostering with you. With over two decades of experience in fostering, my life’s work has been dedicated to nurturing the potential within every child and supporting the incredible individuals who open their homes and hearts to these young souls.
My journey began when I became a foster parent, inspired by the profound impact fostering had on a dear friend’s life. Over the years, I have fostered numerous children and collaborated with various organizations to develop training programs aimed at empowering new foster parents. I have also worked as an advocate, promoting policy changes that enhance support systems for foster families. My passion has led me to speak at national conferences and publish articles on fostering strategies and child welfare.
