Do you ever doubt your decision to foster or adopt? Do you feel hopeless in the challenges of parenting your foster or adopted children? Do you worry that you really ARE a failure as a parent? You are not alone. Too many people become foster and adoptive parents without having accurate information or knowing what to expect. Of those who do, many find they don't have the resources or support they need to do it well. Many parents find themselves inadequate, insufficient, and incapable of the task of parenting foster and adopted kids. These parents are often unable to find the help they need or too embarrassed to look. This book is for the parents who question their decision to foster or adopt, who feel beaten down by the judgments of others and themselves, and who deal with regret, loss, and disappointment. It's also for those hoping to be better prepared for the adoptive struggles ahead. You can enjoy the new life and family you're creating. In this unique blend of memoir and guidebook, Marcy shares with you the lessons her family has learned along the way, the problems that have nearly flattened them, and the way they've seen, and continue to hope for, good in each one. Marcy covers the greatest challenges, as revealed through her own experience as a foster mother, adoptive mother, and professional counselor. Whether you are considering foster parenting or adopting, or are already in it and drowning, or you just want to throw a lifesaver to a foster parenting/adoptive friend or family member, then this book is your must-read resource. Reclaiming Hope gives you truth about adopting, fostering, and taking guardianship of children in a new and easy-to-understand way through: * Breaking down misinformation fed to prospective foster and adoptive parents * Finding community to validate your existence, remind you of your purpose, and encourage you to keep on * Naming the 10 greatest challenges of fostering and adopting, so you can align your expectations with reality (the stuff they don't tell you about in promo videos, fliers, and information meetings) * Help for the friend or family member who wants to support adoptive/foster families. * Reclaiming hope when circumstances scream fear and helplessness. Follow the advice in this book and fostering and adoption can be a beautiful, wonderful experience for you and your family. It will be hard. But it doesn't have to be devastating. If you're tired of pretending you've got it all together or that you've got the perfect kids or that this is always easy... if you sometimes wonder if you've made a mistake... if you feel the strain of raising adoptive and foster kids on your marriage or on your own health, then keep reading. Together we are going to name these challenges, acknowledge that they exist, that they are hard, and that, at the end of the day, there is still hope.

Exactly what I needed!
Color: Natural, Size: 6 Panels
My main use for this may be different than most people. I was taking care of some kittens and wanted to keep them away from sensitive areas of the living room (wires, home theater equipment, etc.). At first I stacked some boxes around, which was rather ugly and ineffective (made it harder for ME to get around more than anything else). I went online looking for a better solution and found this room divider. This did the trick! Finally I could have a stress-free time while the kittens were running around, and with something that actually improved the look of the room too. The divider itself is put together very well. The hinges actually fold both ways, so you get some versatile configuration options. It is lightweight and easy to move around, making it very easy to stash out of the way when not in use. I was so pleased that I went and bought 2 of the smaller 4-panel dividers as well, to use in a different area.

UNhappy Customer!
Color: Natural, Size: 6 Panels
Quite honestly I dont normally give poor reviews. I dont normally get poorly made products from Amazon but this time has changed things for me. I will order very little and will especially be mindful of anything made in China! This divider arrived in an intact but wet box. It took me nearly 20 minutes to get it to unfold. The two outside panels flipped out freely but for some reason I had to work to get the other panels to unfold. When it did open, the second panel was clearly damaged. I proceeded to prepare it for return, taped it up securely, requested and received a return label and traveled to the UPS store to return. Wouldn't you know it...UPS shipping charges were $154.00!!! More than I paid for this inferior product. So, if I return on my dollar and hope it makes it to the appointed destination and receive $151.99 for the return cost, I'm out $154.00 and no product to show for it! Its amazing how sellers come up with ways to unload their junk and then prevent satisfied customers by making them pay for the return shipping costs. I opted to keep the junk and consider it a lesson learned. What a scam!
