Summary

“If just one family from every church in Texas would adopt a child, Texas would not have a foster care crisis.” After a 22-year career as an Army officer, Glenn Harwood and his family of four moved to Midland, Texas, where he began a second career as an Assistant US Attorney. During their time in Midland, he and his wife have fostered six children and adopted two of those children through Child Protective Services. SHOW NOTES
