Amanda Conner plays with a 9-month-old foster daughter Monday, March 6, 2017, at her home in Twin Falls. She remembers the first time the baby rolled over without getting stuck on her shoulder. It was seven months ago, while Connors was changing her at 2:30 a.m., and the 2-month-old had just come to live with her.
“Now she’s just all over,” Connors said.
Connors, 29, isn’t the baby’s biological mother, but as a foster mother she has stepped into the role of a parent in every way.
