Publisher's Summary

There are great rewards that come along with being a foster parent, yet there are also great challenges that can leave you feeling depleted, alone, and discouraged. The many burdens of a foster parent's day - hurting children, struggling biological parents, and a broken system - are only compounded by the many burdens of a foster parent's heart - confusion, anxiety, heartache, anger, and fear.

With the compassion and insight of a fellow foster parent, Jamie C. Finn helps you see your struggles through the lens of the gospel, bringing biblical truths to bear on your unique everyday realities. In these short, accessible chapters, you'll find honest, personal stories and practical lessons that provide encouragement and direction from God's word as you walk the journey of foster parenting.

Excellent book on Christian foster care

Even though the book is geared mainly towards Christian foster parents or those planning to become ones, there is great wisdom and plenty of helpful advice for anyone interested in the topic. A highly recommended read!

Great Read

Author describes well joys and serious heart aches of fostering, offering solid advice on how to prepare your heart for loss and how to manage case workers, biological families and unfair accusations.

This is probably the best book I've read on the subject so far.

Foster care from the perspective of a Christian.
