Scott and Nicole Sherer, of Lincoln, NE, are extraordinary Nebraskans who opened their hearts and homes to four beautiful children in need of parents. This is a tale of love, devotion and caring. In 2007, Nebraska officials found a young boy named Darren, developmentally disabled--a victim of neglect. The State removed Darren from the household and began to search for a foster family. They didn't have to search far because Nicole and Scott Sherer were happy to take him into their home. The following year, a little girl named Mariah was found to be a shaken baby and was taken to Children's Hospital. Mariah's brother Christian was also removed from the home and the State again looked for a healthy home. Once again, the Sherers did not blink. Two more children needed parents; they needed a home. Two more children found their family. And this exceptional family still had more room in their hearts and their home. Two year later, Darren's sister Desiree was born and was delivered to the Sherers from the hospital. They formally adopted Christian and Mariah in April 2009 and then adopted Darren and Desiree in July 2010.
