Shawn and Kara Knight are licensed as a Professional Foster Home in El Dorado. Their dedication focuses on supporting some of the most challenging children in care, offering them a safe and nurturing environment where they can begin anew.
Throughout their years of service, the Knights have provided children with significant behavioral challenges the opportunity to thrive. Many children who have struggled repeatedly find success and happiness in their care. Because their stays are often temporary, children frequently ask for extensions, feeling loved, safe and supported in the Knight home. When children move on to new placements, they often ask to return and the Knights welcome them back with open arms.
The Knights have cultivated a strong partnership with the El Dorado High School principal, working collaboratively to ensure that children in their care receive the educational support they need. They develop personalized programs to help children catch up academically and build a solid foundation for future success.
Their work embodies the core goal of foster care: to help children heal, grow and reach their full potential. Shawn and Kara Knight serve as an inspiring example to foster parents everywhere, demonstrating that with patience, understanding and one more chance, children can surprise us and blossom into responsible, confident adults.
We are thankful to have such an inspiring foster family be a part of TFI!
