Review: Foster Parenting Review
Rating: 5 out of 5

I liked this book because it clearly was written by someone that has walked the walk and talked the talk. After reading the first few pages it became very obvious that the author was explaining what you can expect and gave some great suggestions about ways to handle various situations from first hand knowledge.I particularly liked the emphasis on mutual respect among all members of the household and the suggestion of household rules that apply to everyone, including the (foster) parents. The author also points out that communication will be a major key in your success and discussing fears among other family members even before the arrival of the new visitor is a great way to alleviate those fears.I highly recommend this book for anyone who would like to get some insight into foster parenting, the pros and the cons.
