Matthew and his wife have opened their hearts to 15 medically complex children, including Charlee, one of the first children they adopted. He shares the emotional journey of fostering, the heartbreaking loss of Charlee, and how they turned their grief into action through Charlee’s Orchard, a nonprofit supporting families of children with Down syndrome.
