Hearts in Transition

Navigating Love & Loss in Foster Care

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Foster care is a journey of hope, heartbreak, and healing-and it changes you forever. In Hearts in Transition, Danielle Murphy shares her raw and deeply personal experience as a foster carer navigating the complexities of Australia's out-of-home care system. From the silent grief of infertility to the chaos of welcoming four children overnight, Danielle brings readers into the emotional reality of temporary care, placement breakdowns, and the bittersweet goodbyes that define fostering. This is not a sugar-coated memoir. With honesty, vulnerability, and strength, Danielle gives voice to the often-unspoken struggles of carers: the overwhelming pressure to be perfect, the lack of systemic support, and the grief of loving children who may never stay. Yet woven through every chapter is the fierce belief that even temporary love can have a lasting impact. Hearts in Transition is a must-read for current and future foster carers, adoptive parents, social workers, and anyone seeking to understand the hidden layers of the child protection system. It's a story of resilience, advocacy, and the power of love-even when it doesn't lead to forever.
