This is a short-term connection group for Fostering Together respite, kinship, foster, and adoptive families centered around Jillana Gobel's No Sugar Coating: The Coffee Talk You Need About Foster Parenting. This book is a warm, straight-up guide that reads like a conversation with a knowledgeable friend. It is filled with practical suggestions interwoven with compelling narrative rooted in foster parenting experience. No Sugar-Coating offers valuable insight for those eager to learn more about foster parenting as well as an anchoring for those who have already welcomed vulnerable children through their front door. Ahead of the first meeting date, one copy of the book as well as the reading schedule will be sent to each household.
