DOWNLOAD EBOOKThere 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, 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book is about my life of being a mom and adoptive and foster parent to my sixteen children. I go through all the different emotions that a foster or adoptive parent may experience. I hope to better prepare them and, maybe, inform them enough that they can make wise decisions for their family. I also share some of my stories over the twenty-two years. My sharing may save a child in having a better-prepared foster parent or save a parent from becoming a foster parent. There is a lot of joy in foster parenting, but you are taking on a large responsibility. The more prepared you can be, the better.
