LSS Foster Parents 
Meet Lutheran Social Services’ Foster Parents: Priscilla and Bob LePage!
A lot has changed since 1987. Back then, gas cost 89 cents per gallon, Ronald Reagan was President, and Aretha Franklin was the first woman inducted in to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It was also the year that Priscilla LePage became a licensed foster parent through the New Hampshire Division for Children, Youth and Families (DCYF). After thirteen years of fostering children through DCYF, Priscilla felt she had the skills to serve children with more intensive needs. So in 2000, she joined Lutheran Social Services’ therapeutic level (ISO) foster care program.
Over the years, Priscilla fostered numerous children, adopted one daughter and raised four biological children. Priscilla and her husband, Bob have known each other since their youth, but reconnected later in life and eventually married. Bob welcomed the opportunity to join Priscilla as a foster parent and has taken this role very seriously. Priscilla and Bob are currently fostering a medically involved adolescent. Even though they had no prior medical training, Priscilla and Bob took the time to become specially trained in order to meet the unique needs of their foster child.
Routinely the LePage’s go above and beyond to meet the intense medical and emotional needs of their foster child. Bob and Priscilla actively seek out training opportunities to increase their skills and better meet the needs of the children in their care. Priscilla and Bob keep meticulous records, participate in ongoing medical training, attend numerous medical appointments, and fully support birth family connections, by opening their home and hearts to their foster children’s biological family members. Lutheran Social Services is thankful to have Priscilla and Bob as a part of the LSS foster parent team and congratulate them on receiving the Lutheran Social Services Foster Parents of the Month Award.
