When loving a foster or adopted teen, We must really understand that what was placed into Foster and Adopted Teens (by their parents or other foster families or whomever it may have been) must come out before the love you are giving them truly settles in. Obviously it takes patience and it takes time and when your purpose is to be there in the mist of the storm for these teens when no one else will take on this challenge. You are amazing parents, teachers, counselors and anyone that is purposed to do this work....keep doing what you do, These teens need you.
