I have wanted to write a book on our experiences for a long time. We were foster parents for only about a year, but the emotional and physical toll it took on us was overwhelming. Even still, more than a year later, I am searching for answers and healing.
However, a book seemed overwhelming. I wanted to share our experience to help others, and perhaps encourage change, but I realized I needed to do it in small steps. A blog seemed like the perfect way to go. I will be sharing some personal things, and I want to encourage anyone else who has a story to tell to be free to do the same thing -- send me your story if you are willing for it to be posted on the blog and I will do so. Or, if you just need someone who understands, feel free to write to me, and let me know you want your story kept private. I will read and reply to each story that comes to me. I will carefully monitor comments on here and help protect all those who are sharing personal struggles and triumphs.
Let's heal together and help heal the system.
