My Chosen Children

About

After having raised my four biological children to adulthood or near adulthood, I have decided to open both my home and my heart to foster children. The name of this site is My Chosen Children to honor them. I did not have much choice in my bio children but we do get to choose our foster children.

Although I have done therapeutic foster care in the past, I am currently retaking the PRIDE training. It is so much more meaningful after having experienced being a foster parent in the past. It is training that I wish all parents went through before having children, perhaps there would be less foster children in the world. My articles are not meant in any way to replace training but rather to enhance it.

Foster care is one of the most challenging and most rewarding life choices that you can make. The children are in foster care through no fault of their own and need loving adults to make a positive impact on their lives.

If you have considered foster care in the past, I encourage you to explore it further. If you do not feel like you are in a position to do so now, there are so many ways that you can help the children without committing to be a foster parent.
