This book is told from a child's perspective and looks at the varied emotions a child is feeling about being taken away from their parent(s) and placed into Foster Care.
This story gives each child the freedom and permission to "FEEL" and to construct ways to deal with their feelings. Every child that is currently in Foster Care or has ever been in Foster Care will be able to relate to the feelings expressed in this simple yet informative book. The book includes pages for the child to be able to draw/write some of their feelings.
The reasons children come into Foster Care are varied. (it is estimated that 443,000 were remanded to state custody in the United States (latest statistics available). Though the reasons are varied, the feelings these children are not. These children share the same feelings while in State Care. It is important for these children to know that they are not alone; others are and others have been where they are.
Christian Author Theresa Jeffers has written this book along with an earlier book - I Had No Choice - to stress that life in Foster Care does not end their "Life Story." Where they are at this moment in life does not define who they are or who they will become later in life.
"Foster children need a voice...they need to be reassured that their journey is nothing to be ashamed of...it was NOT their choice that placed them where they are!" - Theresa Jeffers
