Fostering and Adopting children is a wonderful thing. It changes the lives of those involved in unimaginable ways. Oftentimes foster care and adoption can save a child’s life. It allows them to grow up in a supportive stable environment that might not have occurred without it. However, there are some things that must be taken into account for both parent and child. It can be a very emotional process that can last many months. This can cause some strain on everyone’s emotional and mental well being. To help this, it is best to talk to family or child counselors to work through the emotional trauma of everything.
