Married for 54 years, the Stedmans have six children and 26 grandchildren. Over the past 40 years, they’ve also fostered more than 70 infants.
David Stedman, 79, and his wife Carolyn, 76, have been married for 54 years. They have six children, 26 grandchildren and have fostered over 70 infants in the past 40 years. Earlier this year, both were awarded the Order of Australia.
“I do remember we bought a Kombi after our third child, and David said, ‘Now don’t see this as a challenge, Carolyn.’ And I said, ‘Oh no, David, never.’ ” Because he comes from a broken home himself, I think David’s heart really goes out to them. Actually, that’s true for both of us: I came from a family with a beautiful, loving, wonderful mother, and a father who was very difficult. I set out to find someone who was not like my father when I looked for a marriage partner. And David is very unlike my father. He thinks I’m the most competent woman in the world. He’s always been my greatest support – always.
