Nicole Ropella

I am excited to be joining Form the Family to help support the mission of helping foster, adoptive and kinship families. I was born in Neenah, and still live in the area. My husband and I currently have three children- two who joined our family by birth and one who joined through foster care. We've been licensed foster parents for 3 years and have had numerous children in our family during that time. I work as an assistant youth librarian, but my background is as a teacher. I believe it is important to provide foster, adoptive and kinship families with support so that they can support the children who rely on them.
