From people who came through it
“Reading this late at night? I've been there. I've been there. For me it was a few years back. Back then it was the adoption panel. I laugh properly again. It doesn't stay this heavy. Keep going, even slowly.”
trisha.garden · been through adoption and foster care“Para quien empieza como familia de acogida: no te voy a mentir, hay días que parece que no das una. El trabajo de historia de vida es duro, el panel te pone nervioso y los adolescentes mienten y vapean. Pero también hay momentos buenos. Busca a alguien con quien hablar, como yo con Kerry. Y ten paciencia contigo misma.”
sundayspark · been through adoption and foster care“I was where you are in 2022. Foster caring for 8 years. That was my life. Last month I had people round for dinner. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. One day at a time.”
Brooke Ye · been through adoption and foster care“To whoever needs this: Nearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. Back then it was foster caring for 8 years. I'm volunteering here now. You get yourself back in pieces.”
