My Foster mom and brother

rest well Mrs. Wilson

2024/9/26 Edited to

... Read moreFostering is a significant emotional and social experience, especially for children and families interacting with foster caregivers. In Philadelphia, many families have created bonds through the foster care system, where individuals like Mrs. Wilson have made a lasting impact. Understanding the challenges and rewards of being a foster parent helps reveal the essential role they play in nurturing and guiding children in need. The benefits of foster care extend beyond just providing shelter; they create environments of love, stability, and guidance for young individuals looking for a sense of belonging. Mrs. Wilson exemplified this spirit, fostering not only her children but also a community of support. Cities across the U.S., including Philadelphia, have initiatives in place to encourage more families to participate in fostering, underscoring the ongoing need for compassionate individuals ready to provide care. Through this lens, we honor not just Mrs. Wilson’s memory but also the countless stories of foster families who continue to change lives.

My Foster Brother Had to Leave When He Was 18🫠
I met a boy who lived with my neighbor’s family. He came to their home when he was 12. For a few years, it actually felt like he finally had a real family. Then on his 18th birthday, everything changed. He was officially “aged out” of foster care. The next day, he was on his own. I remember w

Not all foster parents are bad:)
At the age of 12, I was put into foster care along with my younger brother. I got very lucky because most people don’t want to take in older children, let alone more than one older child. Day one of meeting this amazing couple and I was ready to finally have some stability and people who actually c

National Foster Care Month | Day 12 - The weight I carry
Some wounds existed long before I ever met my children. The weight of trying to help children heal from things I didn’t give them… and wounds I can’t always fully see is too heavy to bear on my own. I’m thankful I don’t have to. Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you. Psalm 55:2

Read bio if you’ve ever wondered how I got my husband to want to foster
I told him If he wanted to marry me at risk kids are a package deal. No seriously… that is what I did. But for everyone else I’d say pray about it because if the lord gives you a desire he will also give it to your husband if it’s his will. ❤️ #fostermom #fostercare #fosterdad
