FosterMommy

Background

Fostermommy is 70 years old and parenting teenage foster daughters and her first elementary age boy with a private agency. She specializes in taking teen girls from residential treatment facilities and keeping them until they graduate from highschool. Her teenagers stay with her for an average of 4 years until they graduate and so far, all of them have graduated.

After raising three daughters, it just seemed natural to take in teenage foster daughters. After becoming a widow in 1998 after 37 years of marriage, an adult daughter, Julia talked Fostermommy into providing foster care. Julia had adopted five children at that time and has since adopted two more and taken one guardianship. She also convinced Fostermommy to share her experiences with others because that is what she does. Sort of like walking in your parents’ shoes only backwards.

 

I hope you all stick around and really appreciate your input, comments, suggestions, and questions. Questions come in real handy when we are experiencing writer’s block.
