The Top 10 . . . of Top 10 Lists for Foster Parents

This is a great article from the folks at Embrace that has lots of good information for foster or adopt in a very succinct way.

My favorite items from the "10 things you thought you would never say" section is "I am his foster father, and No, I don't have his birth certificate or shot record. But he will be starting school today." It is so important to be our children's advocate.

There are some other really helpful ideas, like putting their picture and school work on the fridge within a few days, asking how they like their hair done and styling it that way, and so much more.

Be sure to look for 10 behaviors to watch for, 10 books to read, 10 helpful items we love, and 10 strengths you never knew you had, and much, much more.
