Ways to help kids in foster care!

If your friend is seeking adoption from foster care, it's important that we honor primary families and not celebrate their trauma.

TPR=Termination of parental rights. #fostercare #fosterparent #fosterparenting #fosterchild #fostertoadopt #fostercareadoption #tpr #cps | Laura • Foster Parent Partner
