Rana O'Connor has recruited families and individuals to provide foster/adoptive care for 18 years. When she started, her own girls were almost 7 and 6 months old. Her youngest just graduated from high school, and she has met many many families in the interim, coaching them through the process to become foster families. Her greatest kick at work comes from connecting kids in need to families that care. At home her passions run to the art of quilting, gardening, and the joys and challenges of raising strong women.
