Sarah and Eric became foster parents in the hopes of one day adopting. And when baby Coco came into their lives it looked like it could be for good. But that wasn't the case. Caring for Coco became much messier, more challenging and more difficult than Eric and Sarah ever expected, mainly due to the fact that the foster system continually told them that they would likely be able to adopt Coco and then completely blindsided Sarah and Eric by pushing for reunification with Coco's birth mother who they called a "bad prospect" for getting her child back. Sarah writes about this heartbreaking situation so beautifully in her book Stranger Care, the title of which was inspired by how the foster system refers to the non-relative men and women caring for the hundreds of thousands of children in their care every year. Sarah and Eric had to learn a new kind of love, not just a love for baby Coco, but also a love for her birth mother Evelyn, in order to give Coco the best possible life she could have.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When Sarah Sentilles realized she wanted to become a parent, she learned that her husband did not want to bring another child into an already overpopulated world. The two looked to foster care and were placed with a three-day-old girl they immediately fell in love with. In her new book, Stranger Care, Sarah recounts the journey through the system and what happened when their almost daughter was placed back with her birth mother. As Sarah tells Zibby, her goals in writing the memoir were to give herself the agency the system had deprived her of and to remind herself and other readers that love and care don't have to be synonymous with parenthood.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3w7eP71Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3yrkDd1 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
