Jonathan’s Place is simply a family. A family that believes EVERY child deserves a family. We started our family with two biological, “homegrown,” sons and began fostering/adopting 23 years ago.

Our FAMILY

Before moving to Florida, our family lived in Kentucky. While living in Kentucky, we fostered thirty-seven children and adopted six. Since we have moved to Florida, God has given us twelve more children to love and care for through guardianship and adoption. Most of our children are medically fragile or considered “hard to place”.

We never could have imagined that his would be the life we were called to live, but God has called us and He has prepared us for such a time as this.

Jonathan’s Place is named in memory of our beloved son, Jonathan, who had Down Syndrome and now resides in Heaven.

We are often asked, “When will you be done?” or “Don’t you have enough children?” Our response is always that we will continue to say, “YES!” until God says, “No.”

If you know of any child that needs a family, we are able, willing, and well connected to assist in finding them one, if not our own.

How you can help

We have curated an Amazon Wish List for some of our general family needs. We also love to just hang out and enjoy fellowship with anyone and everyone. We may have some special needs, but we play hard and love harder.
