Foster parenting

Foster parenting is taking a child into your home and life when their own family cannot safely care for them, knowing the relationship may be temporary and the outcome uncertain. It asks you to love fully while holding loss, to build trust across trauma, and to see a child's belonging as more important than claiming them.
