Amanda and her husband, Jake Dodson, became foster parents in the State of Oklahoma in January 2016, having 11 children come into their home for care to date. In January and February 2017, three young siblings came into their home and the Hills-Dodson family is now in the process of adopting the beautiful children they have tirelessly cared for in the past 3.5 years.
