In the local area, a woman named Julie Lowe has been involved in foster care, working as a social worker while pursuing her graduate degree. She later became a respite provider, caring for children on evenings and weekends. Julie's experience led her to care for two toddler sisters, and when their placement fell apart, she considered becoming their foster parent.

This eventually led to the opportunity to adopt the girls. Further details about Julie's story and her journey with adoption are available from The Gospel Coalition, which has shared more about her experiences and the events that unfolded.
