Our Foster Care Adoption Story

our-foster-care-adoption-story

According to a report by the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS), there were more than 407,000 children in foster care in September 2020 [β€œThis report reflects all AFCARS data received as of October 4, 2021 related to AFCARS reporting periods through September 30, 2020.”]. That is a staggering, heartbreaking statistic.

People make the choice to become foster parents for different reasons. I’d like to share my own story of becoming a foster (and eventual adoptive) parent.

The past few years have often felt like being stuck in an unceasing, unrelenting storm. The entire world was faced with many unknowns, sudden and difficult changes, and loss. Being in survival mode for so long affects people. I can say without a doubt that since early 2020: 1) my life has changed, and 2) I have changed.

I'm currently reading an ARC of Falon Ballard's sophomore novel, Just My Type (releasing 2/7/23), and it has had me laughing out loud! I adored her debut, Lease On Love, and I am excited to see how this one plays out.

On a different note, Brian has been watching Just Mercy tonight, and, despite attempting to read,  I can't stop watching it! I'm a little too tired tonight, but I'll have to finish it another time. What an emotional movie!

I LOVED Kerry Rea's debut, The Wedding Ringer, so Lucy on the Wild Side has been on my TBR since I first heard about it. It's a contemporary romance/women's fic with a great mix of comedy and drama. I'm loving the banter and light-hearted moments, but there are also some more serious themes. I'm excited to see how it ends 🩡

How do you feel about your current read?
