I received a copy of this eBook from netGalley for a honest review.
I think this is an important book for anyone considering doing foster care. It gives tips, ideas and advice along with quotes on what to expect and how to deal with everything being a foster parent entails. Overall an uplifting book.

The book has some good tips that are laid out with one per day of the year. I personally don’t think that was necessary and was a bit repetitive. The quotes below and random stories were also not really needed. Would have been better (and used less paper) if it was organized by types of tips.
