Family Spotlight: Meet the Neidlinger Family!

“Adoption at first was kind of scary to have to live with people you don't really know. It gets easier with time.” - Aliyah

Jerry and Julie Neidlinger were looking for ways to expand their family when they initially learned of the need for foster parents in their area. They started the foster care licensing process with their local agency and inquiring about children available for adoption online at the same time. Now, Jerry and Julie are the parents of multiple children making up a perfect rainbow family. Their two eldest are now adults, and their children range in ages from 36 years of age down to 10 years of age, with the youngest foster child aged 6.

The Neidlinger Family resides in North Dakota, and their story was sponsored by Senator Joe Hoeven.
