""Forever mom and dad." "Forever family." "Forever home."

Clearly the well-nurtured product of a loving household, Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is the father of six children with wife Tiffany, all born with a sense of deep-rooted permanence. When talking about the kids he works with away from the football field and away from his own home, though, Rivers uses the word "forever" as if it's the most powerful, most important adjective in the language.

"(There were) these two little girls who had bounced from home to home," said Rivers, recalling his early involvement in the cause of foster children. "I got to hear their story. That's when I knew. The story they shared was of a social worker coming to the house. Usually, that meant they were moving."
