IDAHO FALLS Arriving at an unfamiliar home as a foster child can be scary, which is why a local mom is doing what she can to ease that fear.
Idaho Falls couple Nicole and Scott Klingler have been foster parents for a little over five years. Over that period of time, they have taken in dozens of children in need, on top of caring for their own two kids.
The Klingler’s foster care journey began when they bought their first home and felt like they were at a time in their lives where they had “extra to give.” The couple had thought about adoption early on during their marriage, but they didn’t feel like it was the right fit for them. It was foster care that caught their attention.
