My Foster Parenting Journey

I received my two foster daughters into my home in January 2016,  Here are 10 blog posts that I wrote in the first 18 months after my girls moved in with me. Each post shows the experiences and feelings that we were having at that point in our transition together. I'm hoping our journey will inspire you to consider how you can reach out to vulnerable kids in your community.
