My mama, she is supposed to take care of me, that is her job, not you, I guess she just don't care.'

When parents decide to foster, they are faced with many difficult decisions, dilemmas and questions. How do you navigate the daily struggles of foster parenting?

It guides you through the different stages of a fostering relationship, including common issues encountered at each age and how to tackle them.
