My Take on the Book
This book was filled with so many great resources for any person thinking of being a foster parent or any person who is already doing this today. The book goes through any and all of the issues that potentially could come up over the time as a foster parent. What I loved about the book was how thorough the book was, giving both the positive and negative things to consider as well as things to watch out for in any foster child.
The book is raw and open and provides an eye-opening account with easy to read bulleted points that were also easy to follow and understand.
If you are looking into this or are already a foster parent you should pick up this book today!
