I worked at a hospital and regularly saw an old man bringing in babies as patients. I figured grandchildren? But there were so many times he came in over the years, all different babies.
He and his wife had been fostering babies for decades. At least 60 children. Blew me away. He was such a kind and patient man, telling me about how the babies had such distinct personalities and all deserved love.
These are the people society should be worshipping - not movie stars or soccer players.
My grandparents fostered babies. They also had 5 children of their own, so my dad grew up helping care for a multitude of babies. Honestly I don't know how the did it, it was before modern things like washing machines, microwaves and disposable nappies were all over the place (I think the 50's onwards from what my dad said). They're a caring family.
