Gifts for the Foster Parent Who Opens Their Home Again and Again and Doesn't Talk About How Much It Costs Them

Foster parenting is a particular kind of love — the kind that operates without the guarantee of permanence, that attaches fully knowing the attachment may need to be released, that provides stability and warmth and safety to a child who needs it right now regardless of what comes next. The people who do this have made a decision about what kind of person they want to be, and it is a generous and difficult decision that they renew every time a placement arrives. They don't always talk about the hard parts. They are usually focused on the child. The gifts that fit them acknowledge them as people — not just the role, but the person choosing it over and over — and offer something practical or personal or simply restoring.
