Eyes Wide Open: An Educational Resource About Foster Care & the People We Met Along the Way Who Changed Us (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781948365277)

"If you are exploring the possibility of getting involved with foster care, or are already involved in this profoundly difficult yet rewarding place, then this book is a must read for you. You'll find the insight, encouragement, and hope you need no matter where you are on your journey."

- Jason Johnson, author of "ReFraming Foster Care" and "Everyone Can Do Something"

This story is an account about engaging in foster care: how it opened our eyes, our hearts, and changed the way we live our life. We entered foster care in ignorance of a complex system full of people who live and hurt differently than we do. The more time my family and I spent involved with foster care, the more people we met who opened our eyes to the hurt around us. This is a narrative of our journey in foster care, an educational resource, but even more a story of how we learned to see others - how we learned to love.
