Book excerpt: With a significant number of children in the foster care system in need of safe and stable homes, caregivers who are willing to provide such a home are vital. As these caregivers voluntarily open their homes, they are also likely to encounter challenges with foster children due to previous traumas. The specific challenges addressed in this research study included the integration into the family, the management of behaviors, and the ability to make/break attachments. The intent was to identify the emotional and psychological impacts on foster parents as a result of these challenges, which was accomplished through the discussion of experiences.
