Tallapoosa County Department of Human Resources (DHR) is hoping for some locals to open their hearts to foster or even adopt children. The DHR is hosting a foster adoptive parent recruitment open house from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 14 in hopes of finding local homes for 56 foster children.

“I only want to see the best for them,” DHR director Brenda Floyd said. “I can’t stress how important foster parents are.”
