Reframing Foster Care: Filtering Your Foster Parenting Journey Through the Lens of the Gospel
Foster parents face a unique set of circumstances and experience a wide array of emotions that few can relate to. Their journey is one of equal parts beauty and brokenness, joy and heartache, excitement and exhaustion. There is no textbook on how to be a foster parent, no formula, no simple three-step guide.
But there is hopeāin Godās capacity to bring great beauty out of tragic brokenness. This is the gospelāthe lens through which you can filter your foster parenting journey and ultimately find the strength, motivation, and courage you need to be sustained along the way.
ReFraming Foster Care is a collection of reflections on the foster parenting journey designed to help you do just thatāfind hopeāand to remind you that your work is worth it and you are not alone.
