I am ashamed to admit that I once wondered if fostering children was worth the risk to my heart.

Is God prompting you to foster? To adopt? To support foster and adoptive families? Maybe you’ve prayed about it, but you still feel unequipped and fearful. Well, you’re not alone.

As I struggled with infertility, God began nudging me toward a different goal – not bearing children, but caring for them.

From praying to volunteering to simply talking with others who’ve been there, there’s plenty you can do to prepare for the journey of becoming a foster or adoptive parent.
