Breathing Through Foster Care: A Survival Guide Based on the Reflection of a Foster Mom

Breathing through Foster Care is an honest and sometimes raw account of the daily joys and challenges of fostering. This honest glimpse into an imperfect family offers practical tips on how to avoid the missteps they made. It also provides many strategies they learned along the way to maintain a healthy family with children who have experienced trauma. Fostering is a trial-blessing, but the trials have refined this family, and the blessings include birth children in the home. This book not only shares quotes from foster children that give insight into their world but quotes and letters from the Hunt children who share how fostering has changed them. After fostering 38 children and adopting one, Breathing through Foster Care shows the complexities of attachments that last a lifetime while showing you how a foster mom worked through letting go when needed. Hunt also shares the sometimes exhausting decision-making process of deciding whether to adopt a particular foster child.“A holistic approach to foster care. Hunt effectively speaks to our heads, our hearts, and our hands. I recommend this book to anyone who is considering impacting the hearts of your people one child at a time.” - Dr. Mark Zweifel, Lead pastor, True North ChurchBreathing through Foster Care is an excellent book for a book group or a foster support group.
