Foster Parents Are Heroes. What You Need To Know As You Look To Adopt.<\/span><\/h1>\n

Foster parents are heroes. Only exceptionally loving people open their heart and family to a child who has been mistreated. Foster kids are heroes too. For a small person to love and trust again after trauma and heartbreak requires the courage of a giant. Dawn and her staff see the heroic love in foster parent adoption.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You Are a Frustrated Tennessee Foster Parent<\/h2>\n

Apparently, the word is out that if you are a foster parent and things are going very wrong, call Dawn. Dawn gets a lot of calls like that, usually when the child is about to be moved from the home. Sometimes her help makes all the difference, and sometimes all she can do is explore the options and discover, with you, that there aren\u2019t many. Either way, you love this little person. You want to do what you can and if you can\u2019t do anything, you want to understand why not. That is reasonable and Dawn is available to consult with your attorney, with you included, if you would like, in understanding what your odds and options really are.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
