100 Kids. 27 Years. One Incredible Couple.

Twenty‑seven years. Over 100 kids. Nine adoptions. And a house currently full of teenage girls who raid the pantry, call for advice, and come home long after they’ve grown up.

Bill and Rhonda are the definition of extraordinary foster parents — the kind who never quit, never judge, and never stop showing up. Their journey is one of the most inspiring chapters in Necco’s 30‑year story.

What Independent Living Makes Possible...

Bill and Rhonda have watched countless foster teens grow up — including two who are now heading to college and are enrolled in NECCO’s Independent Living program. Independent Living gives teens aging out of foster care the stability, guidance, and the confidence to make decisions on their own.

In this 30 Years of Impact moment, Bill and Rhonda show that aging out doesn’t mean being alone. With the right support, foster youth can launch into adulthood with pride, purpose, and a future they never thought possible.

Bill & Rhonda: Changing the Narrative...

Bill and Rhonda shut down one of the biggest myths in foster care: that kids in the system are “bad.” After fostering more than 100 children, they’ve seen the truth — these teens are normal kids with normal emotions who ended up in foster care through no fault of their own.

In this 30 Years of Impact moment, they urge people to ignore the stigma, take the leap, and discover how fostering doesn’t just change a child’s life… it changes yours too.

The Reward No One Talks About...

Reese reflects on what pulled her into foster care work — a deep need she couldn’t ignore.

She shares a glimpse into helping a family welcome their very first placement, guiding them through uncertainty with support, training, and connection. Along the way, she’s discovered the heart behind every foster parent: their motivations, their strengths, and the quiet courage it takes to say yes. Her relationships with families are built on trust, transparency, and genuine connection.

And for anyone considering fostering, her message is simple and powerful: it’s more rewarding than you can imagine.

Opening More Homes. Changing More Lives.

Reese shares how stepping into foster care licensing transformed her purpose. With no prior experience in the system, she felt called to open safe, loving homes for children in Georgia. Now, as a Licensing Specialist, she’s supported by a team that empowers her to grow, conduct home studies, and expand the number of families ready to care for kids entering foster care.

For Reese, NECCO isn’t just a workplace — it’s a family where she’s found belonging, stability, and the space to grow both personally and professionally.

Pride in Every Home: Leading With Care...

This June, as we celebrate Pride Month, NECCO is proud to uplift the voices of foster parents like Bo—who remind us what truly matters. For Bo, fostering isn’t about recognition or reward. It starts with a simple, powerful intention: showing up for children who need support, stability, and care.

Love Shows Up in Small Ways!

This June, as we celebrate Pride Month, NECCO is recognizing the real, everyday moments that make fostering so meaningful. Foster parent Bo shares an honest truth—there are times when the journey feels challenging, when frustration creeps in, and you start to question if you’re the right fit. But then, something shifts.

“You will reach a point… where you ask yourself, is this right for me? Then the kids are going to do something super amazing for you… maybe something silly like clean their room, or they’ll draw you a picture… and it says ‘Daddy’ with a heart on it… Then you’re done. You’re locked in.”

It’s those small, powerful moments of connection and trust that create lasting bonds. This Pride Month and beyond, Necco celebrates foster families who show up with patience, resilience, and open hearts—creating spaces where every child feels seen, safe, and loved.
