1990 Press Photo Maxine and Harry Sexton Make Up Hospital Bed For Foster Child

Maxine and Harry Sexton made up the hospital bed used by one of their foster children. The poster on the wall displays the 911 emergency telephone number. This is a story about foster care. But it's not more bad news about the dizzying number of children who need such care, the shortage of families for children with special needs, or budget cuts hampering efforts to deal with these problems. It's a story about the love of a foster family for two disabled children, and how their love transformed a potential tragedy into a celebration of life. Maxine and Harry Sexton and family. Milwaukee.
