In honor of National Foster Care month, we would like to share this testimonial from
Shareem,
an Astor Therapeutic Foster Parent:
Becoming a foster parent has allowed me to bring joy into the lives of children who want what every child deserves – a nurturing, loving and secure home. It has also enabled me to embrace my purpose and accept the calling in my life.
I will not say that being a foster parent is easy, because it comes with many challenges, but patience, dedication and communication will get one through the obstacles that may occur. My life has been enriched by joining this unique community and I am humbled to be of service.
