Encouragement, hope, and practical help for the Christian foster parentThere are great rewards that come along with being a foster parent, yet
there are also great challenges that make them feel depleted, alone, and
discouraged. The many burdens of a foster parent's day--struggling
children, difficult 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.
In her new book, Foster the Family: Encouragement, Hope, and
Practical Help for the Christian Foster Parent, Jamie C. Finn, executive
director of Foster the Family and a foster parent helps you see your
struggles through the lens of the gospel, bringing biblical truths to bear
on your unique everyday realities.
Today on Connections, Jamie shares a bit about her journey with foster parenting. She'll also talk about some of the things that have helped her along the way.
