Foster adoption = endless rewards
There are many reasons to adopt a child from the foster care system: to give a child a chance at a better life; to experience the joy and fulfillment a child brings to a family and home; to share the gifts given us with someone else; to parent a child when giving birth is not possible; to help make the world a better place . . . the list can go on and on.
But, knowing that you have nourished a child to become the best person they can be and to help them overcome the obstacles that they have been faced in their short lives has to be the most rewarding of all reason. Children in the foster care system are there due to no fault of their own. They need and deserve good parents, families, homes, love, nurturing, guidance, and companionship. Many foster care parents are surprised at how much love and joy they receive in turn from inviting these children to become a part of their family.
As we have heard one adoptive parent say, there is a risk in opening your heart to another human being. But without opening your heart to that risk, there is no way to open your heart to the pure joy of seeing a child flourish into a wonderful human being. What you do for a child can become a joy for both of you.
