EVERYONE can do something!
STOP! ✋🏽
Please don’t scroll by thinking because you can’t foster or adopt you can’t do anything—because you can. Everyone can.
May is National Foster Care Awarness Month & it is a chance for you to see how to integrate yourself into our world.
Many will do nothing because they simply don't know what to do.
We know not everyone is going to be called to foster care or adoption, or even respite care & babysitting—but you can still do so much for those who are.
So many people see foster parents as superheroes who can do it all, but we are not & we cannot do it without your help.
Foster parents often feel isolated, buried in the trenches & to be honest—a lot of times fear how we will survive the day. Mounds of paperwork & medical appointments & trauma behaviors, Court dates, parent visits, investigations, social workers, lawyers & I could go on & on but you get the point.
You don't have to do it all, but you can do something because each kind gesture & every act of compassion says to us "I see you, I appreciate you & I'm here for you."
What can you do this month to help?
