With the school year in full swing and fall on the horizon, our focus has turned to new routines, practice schedules, homework, etc. etc. etc. And all of this comes on top of the intricacies of navigating a complex foster care system as you care for the children that come into your care. Court dates, visits, therapies, meetings - all of it can seem never-ending.
