ReFraming Foster Care is written for current foster parents, prospective foster parents, and those simply wanting to learn how to relate to and support those who are engaged in fostering.

Whether single or married, fostering with the hope of adopting, or fostering as an end in itself, foster parents face a unique set of circumstances and experience a range of emotions to which few outside the foster care community can fully relate.

It’s critical for foster parents to access a well of encouragement from which they can make sense of their experiences, as well as an understanding community with which they can connect, into which they can lean, and from which they can draw support. It’s also essential that they have a place to freely share the joys and struggles of fostering, as well as a safe environment in which to process the raw and di cult emotions they experience in a healthy way. is book is designed to help cultivate that for you. e goal of ReFraming Foster Care is to equip, support, encourage, and sustain you in the gospel—no matter where you are on your fostering journey. e book is meant to be an encouraging reminder that your work is worth it and that you’re not alone.
