Tamra Norman and her husband were the parents of two children. They had\u00a0dreams<\/a> of retiring early and traveling, but that all changed in 2013 when they decided to become foster parents. Over six-and-a-half years, they would take in over 20 foster children, including a pregnant 15-year-old girl.<\/p>\n

The couple had welcomed many foster children, including a premature baby with health issues and a child whose mother was in jail<\/a>. They brought two young sisters<\/a> into their home whom they would eventually adopt, and a baby boy who would permanently join their family as well.\u00a0But a pregnant teen was something new for them.<\/p>\n

The teen was due to give birth in three weeks and she was out of days at the shelter. The goal was to find the teen a home that would allow her baby to be there with her, otherwise, the baby would go to a foster home and the mother would go back to the shelter.<\/p>\n
