""Just start!""
""This all started with my wife. I mean, she's got a heart that just cares for people in a different way than most,""
""And with anything, we don't just say, 'Let's go do something.' We just start,""
""The goal of foster care is always to reunite the kids with their birth parents. With our case, and with many cases, that just wasn't the best scenario," Cole explains. "And so after over over 1000 days, it was finally approved to fully adopt them into our family.""
Jesse Cole created the Savannah Bananas and promotes opening homes for children in the foster care system. Jesse and his wife Emily became licensed foster parents while raising their toddler, Maverick. They were first assigned a non-verbal two-year-old named Kenna and later a six-day-old infant, Addison, who tested positive for illegal substances. The couple learned medical care for a detoxing infant and brought Addison home. Reunification with birth parents remained the goal, but after more than 1,000 days the family received approval to fully adopt the children. The Coles run a nonprofit called Bananas Foster and homeschool their three children while traveling.
