The foster care system is extremely complex and can be especially hard for young children to get a grasp on. Because of this, it is important to consider the temporary nature of the time your sibling will likely have with your family. This was one of the greatest challenges I faced when having a child come to live with my family. I have learned two things over the years that I feel might be helpful.

One of the hardest things when it comes to having a new foster sibling is asking for help when needed.

These are three things I wish I had known about before my family and I dove into this process. It's a challenging but rewarding experience. I hope this helps!!
