Respond to the Call to Care for Orphans: Book 1: Count the Cost

If you are considering foster care or adoption, you probably have tons of questions. "How much does it cost?" "What is a home study like?" "What kind of classes do I need to take?"
All good questions, and most like you are overwhelmed. I know the feeling.

But have you thought through why you want to foster or adopt? Have you Count the Cost?

In this book I will help you think through this life-altering decision.

• I will help you process through your expectations and motivations.
• I will help you think through what you bring to the relationship.
• I will share some things you should know before you bring a child into your home (compiled from many who have gone down this road)
• If you are considering foster care or adopting through foster care, I will…
⁃ Help you understand a little what a foster child’s life is like
⁃ Give you a heads up about how some will react to your decision to foster.
• I will wrap up by helping you understand how your decision will not only impact a child, but also the biological family.

I hope to help you avoid making a mistake. Or at least a decision that leaves you stressed out, burnt out, and ready to return the child to sender. That child isn’t a cute little puppy or kitten that you picked out at the local animal shelter that you can find a home for later if “things don’t work out.”
This is why I once more urge you to count the cost of this decision.
So with that in mind, are you ready to explore the possibility that you are ready to bring a child into your family either temporarily or forever?
