Hello, I’m Stacy. I’ve been a Foster Parent longer then I have been a biological parent.
My journey as a foster parent started in 2009, and since I have been blessed with helping 29 children through this rocky, scary, unpredictable chapter of their lives.
I went into this totally unaware of exactly what it all entailed, unaware of how my heart would break, and how it would love so deeply and unconditionally.
I’m hoping through my blog, I can help others navigate through this system that is broken and help people see exactly what it is like to become a foster parent, the ins and outs of the daily life as a foster parent, but most of all I hope I can help people see why it is so important to be educated fully, not only with the classes provided to become a licensed foster home, but how important it is to seek other education before deciding to do the work of healing children and their families who come from hard places. And along the way, hopefully you will learn to heal from your hard places.
I’m not a writer by nature. I’m scared to do this and put myself out there. I’m pationate about the work I do as a Parent of Children who are in foster care. So today I begin my chapter of healing another part of myself that came from hard places, so I can grow more into the person my family sees. I’m diving in. Facing my fear of rejection. My fear of failure. I hope you decide to come along.
