Books that Might Be Useful
"For the Love of Sam" is a book written by foster parents Edie Newton and Eugene Organ. It is a story of their love for a child they helped transition from their home to adoption. They also created an on-line book as a template for other Foster Parents across the country to use to write their own story for children in care experiencing the same transition.
There are a few books we've come across at the office that might be helpful for talking to children about foster care. These include:
-NEW "Finding the Right Spot (When Kids Can't Live With Their Parents"
