Dan and Phil didn't foster out of duty. They fostered because something about the kids felt familiar in a way they couldn't ignore. Phyllis's big feelings, Nori's quiet watching, Maisie's carefully hidden hope, and Frankie's fearless loyalty tugged at them, each in a different way. Together, they felt like a family the system couldn't promise.
