#TheColeCrew
After meeting in College at Lincoln University, Michael and Tina Cole married in 2007. Struggling with fertility for many years, the couple decided in 2018 that Fostering to Adopt would be the way in which they would begin their family.
With immense respect for children in the foster care system and a deep understanding of the need for safe, consistent, loving, and trusted care, the Cole family knew they could do more. Tina’s dream of opening a child development center began in college and she knew one day it would become a reality.
After selling their family business in 2019, Tina started a small in-home daycare. By 2023, Tina and her family made the decision to start the process of founding the Cole Kids Community Child Development Center, as a way to give back to the community that helped them adopt Cameron and his big sister, Miyah in 2020. They welcomed their miracle baby, Michael Jr., to the family in 2021.
Additional funding is needed to get the Cole Kids Community Child Development Center fully operational.
