Book excerpt: 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.

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, easy-to-read 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.

Book excerpt: If you’re wondering if God can truly move in the life of someone with all the odds stacked against her, look no further than Tori Hope Petersen. Tori grew up in the foster care system, a bi-racial child in a confusing and volatile world. Growing up with a mentally ill mother and living in twelve different foster homes, nothing was in her favor. And yet, even with a minuscule chance of graduating college and a great risk of being homeless, jobless, and on drugs, Tori overcame every negative stereotype and assumption that attacked her identity. However, Tori will tell you she did not overcome. Christ did. In the face of the storm, Jesus made a way for Tori to find profound hope, deep faith, renewed purpose, and a loving family, too. After so many years of being on one side of foster care as a child, Tori is now on the other side as a foster mom, adoptive mom, and biological mom. On top of that, she became a Track and Field All-American in college and now works with nonprofits, ministries, and beyond advocating for foster care reform, adoption advocacy, and help for vulnerable populations. If you want to hear the true tale of an unlikely overcomer, this book is for you. If you want to learn more about the foster care system from a former foster youth’s perspective, this book is for you. If you want to better dwell in the reality of your own spiritual adoption by our Heavenly Father and better understand the orphan and the widow that He loves dearly, this book is for you. Ultimately, if you want to remember who God is, and what He can do through the most unlikely of people, Fostered is for you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a child I was never afraid to die but, I was afraid to live. In America, there are thousands and thousands of foster children. Most have a happy place to call home. There are a percent who live in a home of abuse of all forms. I am writing my autobiography to bring attention to those who are abused and have no way out. I lived in six different foster homes and two group homes, and in three of the foster homes, I was abused, beaten, raped, and used as a sex toy, and I was raped in one group home. I promised myself no matter what that I would make it. I would be someone making the right choices in life because, after all, it was God who gave me this life, and I know He watched over me. He sent people when I needed them most. We foster children are separated from our parents through no fault of our own. Our parents can be drug addicts, criminals, may just not have the means to provide, or they abuse the child. I watch the news and see the children taken from their parents as the police put Mom and Dad in the police car and CYFS, Children Youth and Family services, load the children in a car, and off we go to God knows where. Most people watching the same news station say, "Thank God the children are safe." Are they? Do you understand what happens next to the American foster child? Once the news story is over, you forget all about those children, but their hell is just beginning. We are plunged into a world where we have no control, into strangers' homes or into group homes with kids just like us or kids who take advantage of us. It is one scary place to be, and you have no clue what happened to your parents or if they are coming to get you or you are now just a name on paper and forgotten about. This country needs to take care of their own children. It is on the parents, and their choices dictate their children's lives. I grew up in foster care from age seven to nineteen. I made my choices. I graduated high school at nineteen and went to college and then to tech school to become an auto mechanic, I worked two part-time jobs and a full-time job and paid back all of my school loans on my own and made it in life. I write my childhood down in hopes of just one foster child to read, and I pray it has an effect on them to strive to become a productive person and make it. In the end, I got the payoff I have always wanted""a person to love me for me, and I married her, and twenty-five years later, we are still soulmates and best friends. She is my life, and I am hers, and now, our child is our life. Thank you and God bless.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people say being a parent is the toughest job there is. John DeGarmo, foster and adoptive parent, tells us just how tough it can be, having parented over 40 children. At times he and his wife, Kelly, have cared for up to nine children at a time, many with severe trauma and learning difficulties. Love and Mayhem is an honest and open account of the struggles, sadness and joy that comes with the job of being a parent to a traumatised child. From the sleepless nights with babies withdrawing from drug-addiction, to the heartbreak when a child moves on to another home, and the loving chaos that comes with a large and blended family, John DeGarmo fights for the many children who have come through his home. Ideal for foster families, general readers, fostering agencies and social workers who are looking for a true to life memoir of what it really is to be a foster parent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While we were preparing for our last foster child to leave us, I made a comment to that foster child that I should write a book about my experiences. She said, "Then why don't you!" Although I had thought about it for quite some time prior to that, I never thought that I would actually sit down and extend this opportunity to others. This information is for anyone who has entertained the thought of helping children. This is a great desire to have. A warm heart is sure to follow the success of any given occasion. This is a story about foster care and adoption. It's not just any story; this is a true story. This is a story of love, diligence, sacrifice, kindness, and willingness to be selfless. This is my story. In the life of every child, they should be able to imagine hopes, dreams, goals, and ways how to be able to achieve them. Instead, I have learned that survival techniques tend to take the place of such thoughts if you are a foster child. Dreams can be crushed, and reality becomes an everyday living nightmare. When this happens, what then? Children are taken into foster homes every day. Foster parents willingly give their time and talents to help those in need. This achievement I believe needs to be a built-in passion. You are not paid for your services as a foster parent. You are, however, reimbursed for your kindness. This is not a get-rich-quick plan. If so, there would be a lot of rich foster parents out there, including us! A passion for life has to be restored in children when such difficult situations arise as a result of inhumane behavior. It is hoped that this information will increase your decision to want to adopt, to help those in need. You, in turn, will find the peace and contentment that your restless heart so richly deserves. These children come from all walks of life, from every background imaginable to mankind. And some backgrounds that aren't imaginable too. They come from all types of situations. Not only will your eyes be opened to a different world of a reality beyond your comprehensible grasp but you will also gain an appreciation for what you have rather than for what you want to have. This information is to help you gain a knowledge of the world of foster care. The questions that have intrigued your mind for years as you have watched your neighbors bring in children that are not theirs can now be answered. Although it is not rude to ask foster parents questions of interest in your behalf, you won't have to worry about daring to ask them questions anymore. This information is not only intended for your education but also to help you maintain your sanity while caring for foster children in your home or the worry of what others might think about what you are doing as a foster parent. This is not an easy thing to do. I don't believe from the bottom of my heart that it was ever meant to be. However, I believe that there are certain people on this earth who care about doing this work simply because they have the kind of heart that can handle it. Not all people can. There was actually a time in our lives when our parents asked us to not do foster care anymore. They had seen so many children and had witnessed what they had been through so many times that they just couldn't take it anymore. It takes a certain kind of person to be able to open your heart and your home to help out a stranger and to be able to learn to love them while they are with you and then in turn to be able to miss them when they leave your home. You know if you are that kind of person because you will feel it in your heart. Should you choose to take this step, there will be a support system there for you to help you along your way. Not everyone will understand why you have chosen to do this. However, you will know in your heart if it is the right thing for you to do. If you feel you can handle what these children have been through and that you won't drop your jaw from shock when you hear each and eve

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of The Promise of a Pencil and Kisses from Katie comes an inspirational memoir by the founder of Comfort Cases about his turbulent childhood in the foster care system and the countless obstacles and discrimination he endured in adopting his four children. Rob Scheer never thought that he would be living the life he is now. He’s happily married to his partner and love of his life, he’s the father of four beautiful children, and he’s the founder of an organization that makes life better for thousands of children in the foster care system. But life wasn’t always like this. Growing up in an abusive household before his placement in foster care, Rob had all the odds stacked against him. Kicked out of his foster family’s home within weeks after turning eighteen—with a year left of high school to go—he had to resort to sleeping in his car and in public bathrooms. He suffered from drug addiction and battled with depression, never knowing when his next meal would be or where he would sleep at night. But by true perseverance, he was able to find his own path and achieve his wildest dreams. “A heartwarming, hopeful memoir brimming with humanitarianism and compassion” (Kirkus Reviews), Rob’s story provides a glimpse into what it’s like to grow up in the foster care system, and sheds necessary light on the children who are often treated without dignity. Both a timely call to action and a courageous and candid account of life in the foster care system, A Forever Family ultimately leaves you with one message: one person can make a difference.
