If you are a foster parent for any period of time, you cannot unsee what you see, unhear what you hear, unknow what you know. The brokenness of foster care gets under your skin. But so does the chance to care for a child who feels tossed away. Often I tell longtime friends on the phone, that foster care is not a journey I would wish for our family, but we are in it and not going anywhere…at least today.

We have a love hate relationship with foster care. We hate the system, but adore these brave kids who are being tossed to a fro. We cannot look away.
