Hi, everyone! My name is Anna. I am a first-time novelist, and my novel has foster care and adoption as a central theme.
Although I am adopted, I was never a ward of the state. I know a bit about how the system works, but I want to make sure my writing is as accurate and realistic as possible. The last thing I want is for foster parents to read it and cringe!
I was wondering if anyone here would be willing to answer a few questions about the process, the system, what might happen in various scenarios, and how it all works. Former foster kids, foster parents, adoptive parents, and people who work for any part of the system are welcome. I'm hoping to find a few "buddies" I can consult when I have a question.
I want to portray foster parenting as realistically as possible, and for that, I need your help!
Thank you so much.
Anna
