SAY YES!!! TO #FosterParenting LIKE @brittanyraestokes EVEN WHEN IT’S HARD!!! REGRAM: “..I wonder why I am waking to take care of a child that isn’t even my own. But even though I could think of a million legitimate reasons why now is not a good time or even contemplate that caring for the #fatherless through @Project_Orphans is enough - I look into this innocent child’s eyes and all doubts disappear...” ——————————————— Follow 👉🏼 @Foster2Forever on IG Follow 👉🏼 #Foster2ForeverFeature ——————————————— 👶🏽 Like 3 posts & watch my IG stories. 👥 Tag a friend that would love this! ❤️ Turn on post notifications to see new inspiration ASAP!

Congratulations to @kerah2013 on the #adoption of this cutie! #foster2foreverfeature (Photo shared with permission) ・・・ He is a miracle. ✨💫 . . . . Through this #fostering journey, I felt I was walking through complete darkness without control over anything in regards to the best interest of the children we fostered. I leaned on my faith, husband, family, friends and other #fosterparents for emotional support during this. . . . My support group played an immense role in our journey. . . . My advice to other foster parents is to build a local network with other foster parents. They can be a wealth of knowledge and advice. . . . . . #fostercare #fosteradopt #fostercareis #fostadopt #fosterlove #fostertoadopt #fostercareadoption #thisisfostercare #fostercareishard #fostercarestories #adoptionjourney #adoptionday #knittogetherbyadoption

Be kinder than you feel. But there are times when a hurting mom may lash out at me. It's so hard sometimes to just smile and take the insults. . . . . . . #fostercare #fosteradopt #fostercareis #fostadopt #fosterlove #fostertoadopt #fostercareadoption #thisisfostercare #fosterparents #fostercarestories

GIVEAWAY! Did you know that the women who created @charmedcollections met while doing #adoption advocacy in their community? Between the 3 of them, there are 8 kiddos who have been adopted. In fact, one of the reasons this company was created was to help them earn extra money to help their families be able to afford the adoption process. Charmed is known for supporting adoption fundraising and helping to sponsor events designed to support birth parents during their journey. These women recently won a small business competition #asbc and are on a mission to empower other mompreneurs to roll up their sleeves and make it happen! Something they wish they would have done when they started their business is GET A BUSINESS MENTOR. Did you know that @score_mentors offers FREE mentoring? SCORE is making it easier than ever to make your entrepreneur dreams come true. To help Charmed get the word out, we're giving away one of my favorite pieces in their collection: If Only For A Short Time HOW TO ENTER: Simply follow @foster2forever and @charmedcollections then tag a friend in the comments. Tag as many friends as you'd like in separate comments for more entries! Giveaway ends noon CST on Tuesday, July 18th. Join me in supporting these #bizchampion mamas! . . . . #fostercare #fosteradopt #fostercareis #fostadopt #fosterfamily #fosterlove #fostertoadopt #fostercareadoption #fosterkids #fosterkid #fosterchild #thisisfostercare #fosterparents #fostercarestories

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOUR WAITING FOR A PLACEMENT? We try to work on #homeimprovement projects without little ones to get in the way. This week, we painted our kitchen! White kitchens are the rage right now, but I wanted more of a pop of color. I used #RushingRed by @valsparpaint from @acehardware. What do you think? What's on your list as you are waiting? . . . #waitingforbaby #nesting #fostercare #fosteradopt #fostercareis #fosterlove #fostertoadopt #fostercareadoption #thisisfostercare #fostercarestories
