Sharon married the love of her life Allen Scheuchner in February of 1972. In 1973, Sharon and Allen began taking in foster children and soon knew this to be their calling. They adopted Ralphine and Todd in 1978, Shaun in 1981 and David in 1984. Along with these children now as their own, they began their career devoted to the care of handicapped clients who came to love Sharon and Allen unconditionally.
