5 Hard Truths I Had to Face When I Became a Foster Parent

5 Hard Truths I Had to Face When I Became a Foster Parent

Before I became a foster parent I didn’t really know what I was signing up for.  I wasn’t naive — I knew it would be one of the hardest things I’d ever do — I just didn’t know how exactly. There are some hard truths that every foster parent has to accept when they sign on for the job. These differ from family to family, but here are some that my foster parenting friends and I have encountered. If you’re thinking about becoming a foster parent, don’t let this list discourage you — I can attest that in the end, it IS worth it!

Note: It's an interesting read.  Some criticism of the system.
