Fostering with PRIDE
http://www.dallasvoice.com/fostering-pride-10103690.htmlGARLAND — As a product of the foster care system, Rusty Johnson — perhaps best known in the LGBT community for his saxophone playing at local clubs — is passionate about finding great foster parents.
One of the parents Johnson found is Joe Good.
Through Jonathan’s Place, an emergency shelter for children who’ve been removed from their homes, the openly gay Good became a foster father for the first time in February.
