"When God calls you to step into the lives of children, he'll also prepare you. This practical, informative guide helps do just that."--Dr. Sharen E. Ford, director, Foster Care and Adoption, Focus on the Family

Wondering if adoption or foster care is right for you? Maybe you're looking for other ways to help children at risk. Such an important decision involves many practical steps, all starting with the heart. That's why Called to Care was written.

Drawn from decades of experience, this book provides expert answers to the top questions you likely have, but also shares stories of triumph and struggle from families who are helping vulnerable children even beyond adoption and foster care.

- Learn the latest about domestic and international adoptions and foster care
- Consider how prepared you are to welcome a child into your home
- Discover other ways to support children and families, including refugees

God calls each of us to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable children. Let this book help you find your unique calling.

"Every book on adoption or foster care that I've ever encountered was a theological treatise or a personal memoir or a how-to manual. Called to Care is the first book on this topic that has it all--heartfelt stories, spiritual reflection, a range of perspectives, and heaps of practical advice."--Jonathan Merritt, contributing writer, the Atlantic, and author, Learning to Speak God from Scratch
