(1888PressRelease)
May 07, 2009 - The title of being a mother stems beyond just the fact that she has given birth. It requires unconditional love and a lot of responsibility in order to foster healthy relationships with your own children and ensure their personal growth as well. After all, parents play a huge role in influencing their children.
Moreover, the responsibilities of being a parent to a child not your own may be no different to being a parent to a biological one. In fact, it may entail even more. Being a foster parent requires deep awareness and understanding of the bond between a biological parent and a child.
Foster parents should work through their thoughts and emotions about this special bond, whether these children go back to their own homes, be adopted or stay in foster care for a longer period.
Mary Alexander shares all these and more in her self-published book, A Walk in My Shoes. She narrates her ordeal as a foster parent looking after children who look to her for their day-to-day guidance and comfort.
From her experience, she gives readers helpful insights to other foster parents, as well as adoptive parents, on dealing with children’s struggles, whether behavioral or medical, so they can succeed.
A Walk in My Shoes is published by Xlibris.
