Fierce Fostering Confidential

Hello, I’m Amanda, foster mom extradordinaire

Another day, another blog. What makes this one special? Well me for starters. My story might have a lot in common with yours, or we might not have any similarities. Either way, that’s okay! Nothing here is going to say you’re doing something wrong because I/we/they don’t do it that way. We all raise our babies differently, sometimes even within the same family. This is a brief glimpse into how we have and are raising ours, however briefly, helping them eventually break the cycle.
