After 233 Kids, Foster Parents Quit
~snip~

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - The walls and tabletops in Roger and Imogene Gorsuch's home are lined with photos of their extra children — all 233 of them.

After 45 years as foster parents, taking in mostly infants and toddlers of many nationalities and skin colors, the 86-year-old couple finally decided to call it quits.

"It's all been good," said Roger Gorsuch, a retired printer.

Of course he would say that, his wife of 67 years jokes. "He was gone most of the time."
