Are you considering foster care or adoption? If so, are you fully prepared to succeed? We weren't!
In This Means War experienced foster, adoptive and even grandparents share insight, advice and stories of success-but also of failure. Many began this journey unprepared. We were quickly overwhelmed and wondered why our parenting methods failed. Why didn't our love heal these kids? Why were our previously healthy families now falling apart?
We lacked vital information about invisible disabilities. We didn't understand how profoundly neglect damages a child. We didn't know we'd signed up to be missionaries to miniature heathens, nor that a fierce spiritual enemy opposed us. Perhaps we even assumed the natural state of man (apart from a negative environment or defective genes) was an ideal person. In the Garden of Eden, maybe.
Join the author and friends for a biblical discussion of foster care and adoption-this side of the Garden.
