Eason Family Fosters Over 40 Children in Sacramento County

Britney and Erin Eason have been resource parents in Sacramento County for more than a decade. Starting when they took in a relative’s child, Leilani, who they later adopted, the couple opened their home to foster children and teens. Over the years they have provided a stable environment for more than 40 youths, adopting five of them. Their household includes pets such as Irish wolfhounds, a cat, an iguana and spiders, which they say help create a welcoming atmosphere. The Easons emphasize the challenges foster children face—changing schools, lacking personal belongings, and adjusting to new rules—while stressing the importance of keeping them connected to their interests and community.
