From people who came through it
“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.”

Savannah L · been through adoption and foster care“A note for the next person. This time last year I was exactly where you are. For me it was the adoption panel. I've started painting again. You get yourself back in pieces. Praying for you.”
Danz B · 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.”
