Description

Catherine Marshall's story reveals the heartbreak and hope of foster parenting.Thirty-eight and newly married, Catherine yearned to be a mother and adoption seemed a viable option. The county's Foster-Adopt Program was affordable, so she and her new husband were confident they could adopt and parent two siblings. But nothing was as it seemed. The birth parents used intimidation and the court system to sabotage the adoption. The social services agency wavered in its support. Even the children, three-year old Jenny and six-year old Robert, were unaware of the ticking time bomb of genetics and early neglect that would detonate in their teens. Would the family survive intact? Would the marriage withstand the stress? Would the children overcome the same afflictions and addictions that had plagued their birth parents?The Easter Moose: One Family's Journey Adopting through Foster Care provides all parents, but particularly those adopting, fostering, or caring for children with challenges, the assurance they are not alone. Social workers, teachers, people who work in the family court system, and anyone who believes in nurture over nature will get a reality check. Ms. Marshall has written a riveting book that details her travails adopting two children. Her book is unique but, unfortunately, the story of her adoption experience is not. Kudos to Ms. Marshall for her relentless determination to defend her new family. --June Mikkelsen, licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in adoptionCatherine Marshall's openhearted and honest account of foster parent adoption is the first authentic report of the truth behind our broken foster care system, which fails young children most in need of parenting. --Bill Baker, former foster parentI was captivated by Catherine Marshall's story. It should be required reading for all prospective parents of foster kids. --Alice Bonner, former foster parent
