ABC-7 Anchor Paul Cicala has more on a the Bernal Family in a story you'll only see on ABC-7.

 "I went into foster care when I was seven years old, so I had a lot of different homes growing up, so I ended up meeting my foster parents at 14, who I actually end up staying with, and that's the moment that ended up changing my life forever," said Mark.

His wife, Stephanie, is also proud to be a foster mother and said, "It's been rewarding seeing the children thrive and get excited when they make achieve something because something that might not seem like a lot to others is huge for them."
