Description:... This is a parenting book for new and current foster moms and dads who are raising their foster children. This book is all about empowerment. By empowering our foster parents to be more successful, we empower our foster children to heal and increase their future chances of succeeding in life, thereby breaking the cycle of abuse and neglect from their biological family. A change in one family changes the lives of its subsequent generations. There are about 700,000 children in the foster care system nationally in the United States at any given time and 200,000 get to go back home each year, leaving most of the rest to foster parents who getan opportunity to raise them.
