Couple who fostered 233 children call it a day

A couple who fostered 233 children over 45 years have decided to call it a day.

It is unclear if Roger and Imogene Gorsuch, both 86, of Chattanooga, have set a record with that figure.

In their time, their charges included children from 13 different cultures and seven sets of twins.

Sometimes they fostered six children at a time, while also managing to raise three sons and a daughter of their own.

"Blessed with a comfortable home, adequate income and everything we needed, we had a desire to share this with others less fortunate," Mrs Gorsuch said in a diary.
