Picture Books and a Prayer for When a Foster Placement Leaves
Having a foster child leave your home brings up a lot of feelings. It does not matter why the child is leaving the foster home – it’s always emotional. Thankfully, there are some picture books to help Christian foster families talk about this very specific type of loss. These picture books aren’t about fostering, but they are about fear, separation, and grief within the framework of God’s love for us. Sounds a lot like foster care, huh?

Important update – Audible has discontinued their Audible Stories program. Because we are all done with the pandemic, and heaven forbid they keep giving stuff away for free. (That was sarcasm.)

Don’t worry, none of these links are affiliate links so I’m allowed to say that. If any big blogger is singing the praises of Audible, be aware if they are an affiliate they get at least $10/signup. Yep. So, let me tell you how great Audible is… (I kid, I kid.)
