From people who came through it
“I was where you are a year and a half ago. The worst part was foster caring for 8 years. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. Praying for you.”
elijah.north89 · been through adoption and foster care“Please be gentle with yourself and I wasn't, and it made everything harder, ask for a double appointment if you can, it changed things for me. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”
Bayo P · been through adoption and foster care“I'm not going to tell you eveything happens for a reason. It doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I'm not especially strong. I made a shared calendar for the family so I'm not the only one remembering.”
Marta Yt · been through adoption and foster care“to anyone just starting out with fostering or adoption: it's not going to be like you imagine, and that's okay. some days you'll feel like you're getting it all wrong. i've been doing this for 8 years and i still have days where i want to hide in the shed. but you learn. you learn that the small wins matter more than the big ones. and you learn to ask for help, even when it's the last thing you want to do. you're not doing it alone, even if it feels like it.”
