Overview
Foster parenting is one of the most demanding forms of care: Loving a child whose story didn’t start with you, and may not be yours to finish. A child whose wounds you didn’t create and can’t always see.
In Dear Foster Parent, therapist and child welfare professional Angie Quinn draws on twenty years of foster care experience to offer a clear, compassionate guide to trauma-informed parenting and navigating a system that delivers a trauma of its own. Through vivid, real-life stories from her practice, Quinn walks caregivers through the moments that matter most: building safety and trust with a child who has known neither, supporting grief even when what was lost caused harm, and investing deeply while preparing to let go.
Practical enough to read front to back and specific enough to open in the middle of a hard moment, Dear Foster Parentgives foster parents the tools, language, and grounding they need to do this work without losing themselves in it.
