Dr. Sophie Foster

Dr. Sophie Foster is a former foster parent, public speaker, and retired naval officer. She has taught English, leadership, and human behavior at a range of colleges and universities, to include the U.S. Naval Academy. An advocate for empowering youth, she enjoys mentoring teenage girls in their character and leadership development.

Sophie Foster feels led to pour into the life of a child. Not quite ready for children of her own, she and her husband, Deric, agree to complete thirty hours of training as foster parents. Having provided a detailed home study, background check, medical examinations, and letters of recommendations from their friends, they receive their first foster child - a three-year-old boy who misses his home, and is determined to make everyone's life miserable until he can return to the family he loves.
