On any given day, there are roughly 500,000 children in America's foster care system. For many foster parents caring for these children in need, foster parenting is often the "hardest job they will ever do." Indeed, statistics show that foster parents quit caring for children in their homes after 1.5 years of service, due much in part to burnout, stress, and feelings of grief and loss.


As one who trains foster parents across the nation, and across the globe, I continue to work with foster parents who are struggling with caring for children with anxieties and traumas in their home. The Foster Care Survival Guide is not just a practical guide for foster parents on how to survive the many challenges foster parents face on a daily basis as they care for children in need, but also a light hearted one, as well. Filled with personal stories from the author (himself a foster and adoptive parent of over 50 children for 15 years) as well as personal stories from foster parents across the nation, this unique book is one that foster parents can go back to time and time again. The Foster Care Survival Guide is a book that will provide resources and inspiration for today's foster parents.
