In this informative, spirited, personal account, Valeria Woods encourages Christians to open their homes to the experience of fostering children, and adoption. This book covers the process and details required, and gives prospective parents the emotional and faith-based structure for taking this important and powerful step. Providing a home for a homeless child is, by far, one of the greatest examples of Christian love. It is a true twenty-four hour a day mission! Valeria Woods lives in Memphis, Tennessee and has been an educator for twenty-one years. She brings her personal experience and perspective, as both a former foster child and foster parent to nineteen children over the years, to the inspired writing of this book.
