The House that Love Built

It all started in 1963 when a young couple from Opelousas, Louisiana living on modest means took in two small, neglected children as part of their growing family. At that time foster parents were not allowed to adopt children in foster care, or else Mary Alice and Warren Babineaux would have made the brother and sister that came to them in filthy clothes a permanent part of their family. But what the couple didn’t have in money, they more than made up for with love, foster parenting more than 100 children over the years, adopting four of them, and forever changing the destinies of neglected and abused children who simply needed to be loved.
