I read with interest an article about how foster parents are often
criticized, misunderstood, over-stressed and under-appreciated. More often
than not, the only ones that make the news are the ones who have done
something wrong. such as abusing children in their homes. As I continued to
read the article, I decided that perhaps my book could help change the
negative images portrayed of foster parents and foster care in general.
Having been a young, single mom who was unable to take care of my infant,
she was placed in foster care. I have written a book, titled "Natural
Harmony: Jade's Story," which talks about our separation and eventual
reunion. My daughter's foster parents played a large and important role in
our lives. In fact, if it weren't for the support of such wonderful foster
parents, I likely would have never been reunited with my daughter. The story
presents foster parenting in a much truer light than what is often depicted
by society.
Below is a direct link to the publisher's website. I'd like to mention that
the excerpts on the webpage do not refer to foster care, however, throughout
the story, I've included a strong message about the importance of foster
parenting.
