By Kristy Su Lamore, Recruiter Specialist
Foster Care and Adoption Program,
San Mateo County Human Services Agency
Ella Beecher and her husband James have been foster parents in East Palo Alto for eleven years.
They have had over 50 children in their home during that time.
Reflecting on this experience, Ms. Beecher says that, "Being a foster parent is very
rewarding and brings a lot of joy into your heart. You are helping fulfill a child's life
and it helps fulfill your own life at the same time. The only thing you need to have is lots of love and patience."

Rose Jacobs Gibson was Mayor for two of those years and became a San Mateo County
