“I’m proud of the ways the State is increasing awareness around the need for more foster families,” said Governor Noem. “The next generation of South Dakotans will not thrive if they don’t have a home, a healthy place to grow up, and a family to love them. I hope everyone who hears the Marnell’s story is inspired and compelled to be part of the life-changing journey of becoming a foster family.”
