Cherie and Diane Nelson have been foster parent’s with TFI since 2021. Over the past few years, the Nelson’s have taken placement of more than 20 children, maintaining connections to the children’s biological families and culture the entire time, as many of the children in their home entered trial reunification with biological families. Currently, the Nelson’s have 4 foster children in their home. The Nelson’s maintain connections to culture and family for all children, ensure all children receive services they need, and they are quick to communicate with their worker when questions/concerns are present. The worker reports the Nelson’s to be empathetic and caring for all children that come into their home, along with connecting with each child in their own unique way.
