Antonette Logan, 45, from Silver City, is in the process of becoming a foster parent to her 11-year-old niece and 3-year-old nephew. She currently has kinship status, which is when a child lives temporarily or long-term with a family member.

Though there are challenges, she said, she encourages others to foster or adopt because it gives children a chance to have a stable home and be part of a family.
