Linda Herring has been fostering children for almost five decades
A 75-year-old woman from Iowa has spent the majority of her life caring for hundreds of children in foster care, and she was recently honored with a resolution of appreciation by her local government.
“I would just love [my foster kids] just like they were my own, probably more than I should,” Herring told CNN. “I cried when the kids would leave my home, no matter how long they had been there.” “My best friend was doing foster care for teenage girls and I thought, ‘Well, that would be nice to do the same,’ but I wanted little kids,” Herring said. “So, I talked to the Department of Human Services and agreed to take kids with medical needs.”Along with her five biological children, Herring has adopted three children who were once under her care. Anthony Herring was one of those children.
