This book is a peek into my journey through fostering and adopting children. It's also the story of how I became so passionate about "the lost children" in our society, both in the USA and abroad. While fostering children was not a choice for me, I never thought I could emotionally handle it, it became an eye-opener to the number of abused and neglected children that live just around the corner. From the first two children that came for the weekend, to the ones that came after we were officially foster parents, I never regretted a minute. ...
