Rio Bend

Focus on the Family aired a two day conversation with (former) Congressman Tom Delay and his wife. They are huge advocates for foster care kids and have raised money to build a foster care "community". It is an amazing layout that focuses on neglected and abused kids in foster care.

The houses are about 4600 sq. ft. and have about 7-8 rooms. Each room is large and holds 2 children. Each child has their own bed, dresser, and each room has it's own bathroom. The community also has it's own chapel, swimming pool, workout center and more.

The community is located in Richmond, TX, about 4 hours from the DFW community and is called Rio Bend. You can check out their website here.

The Delay's have been foster parents to three foster children. Mrs. Delay has also worked as a CASA volunteer in the past.
