I’m looking for blogs by people that have been in foster care. Looking for something from more of the child’s perspective before, during and after foster care. Any suggestions?

Thanks for linking to my blog! I do have to put up a disclaimer though that I wasn’t adopted through foster care though. I hope that doesn’t stop anyone from dropping by!

Penelope, I love this site! Having spent some time in foster care, I met so many kids who had spent their entire life in the system. This is not a way to grow up. Thanks for shedding some light onto this situation. I look forward to reading future posts.

Cool site! My wife and I foster care three HIV+ orphans in China, so it’s nice to come by sites that focus on foster care. Keep it up!

Thanks, Carlo! Be sure and add your site to the blog list.
It took a year and a half but we finally got termination of services for our kiddo. .26 is 7/9! I am looking for advice on negotiating a very limited “open” adoption. Do you have links to blogs that address this? Thank you!!

Hi Lisa!
Here is a post written by a foster mom with an open adoption and her list of “rules.” http://foster2forever.com/2011/03/open-sesame-open-adoption-in-foster-care.html
Here is what we have: http://foster2forever.com/2010/08/help-open-adoption-birth-family-contact-how-much-2.html

So many kids need loving homes. Consider being a foster parent.

Wow, what a great resource. We’re always looking for new content on foster care and adoption.
I LOVE…LOVE…LOVE this site. I am the foster mama of two teen boys. It makes me feel less than alone when I read about everyone else’s journeys in the blog hop.
I’ve been trying to link my site for a couple of days now, but just get errors. Will keep trying.

My friend Melissa and I have done foster care for 12 years and we have both adopted through foster care. We love what we do and we have decided to start a blog sharing foster/adoption stories, hoping to help others learn more about foster care. We would love to see more people get involved.
I have followed your blog for nearly 2 years as we have been on this journey. It is so great to hear from someone who is going through similar things. I have recently began telling my own story to hopefully be encouragement to others. Check it out

Thanks, Charonne!!
We were licensed foster parents before we adopted from China in 2010, but no longer qualify due to the # of children in our home. Now we’re “hosting” with Safe Families For Children, which is very similar to foster care, except it has a 90% reunification rate. If you’re curious, check out the posts tagged SaFam on my blog.

Our Joyful Journey began in 2006. We inquired about becoming foster parents for 2 boys and were quickly enrolled in PRIDE classes. We were finally licensed in June of 2007! Our boys came to our home officially in June 2007 and we were blessed to be able to adopt them just 11 months later – April, 2008! They are such blessings to our family and have led us on this incredible journey called foster care! We currently have 5 foster children which brings us to having 8 children in our home. We do have 2 married children and 6 grandchilden! Our house is a very busy house! I also train PRIDE and Child Trauma now. Training has become a passion for me as I have seen the increased need for good foster parents. I am new to blogging but feel so blessed to have found this spot!
