Each and every day foster parents quieting impact other lives. Here’s how great foster patents are making a difference.
In honor of National Foster Care Month, I thought it would be fun, and insightful, to make a short list of ways that foster parents impact the children they care for, and the community around them.
They nurture a child who may have experienced very little tenderness in their young lives.
They show a child what love is.
They make a neglected or abused child feel special and wanted.
They are an example to others of what selfless giving is.
They teach the biological parents by example how to love and parent their child appropriately.
They encourage troubled children to rise above their circumstances and be the best they can be.
They make an impact on society by teaching an abused child how to stop the cycle of violence and not go on to abuse their own children.
They bring respect to the profession of foster parenting by being honest, dedicated, caring, and patient- even when no one is looking.
They never give up.
They change the world one child at a time.
Do you have a story of how a foster parent has touched your life? I would love to hear it! Please feel free to email me.
