I just adore today’s featured blogger! It is so fun to feature someone whom we’ve met “in real life”.
She did an awesome guest post for us on How to Help Children in Foster Care– GREAT tips.
Welcome Penelope of Foster to Forever. She is just amazing!
I’m Penelope, a mid-40s first-time mom that beat infertility through the miracle of adoption – through foster care! And a miracle it is!
At Foster2Forever, I share our rollercoaster adventure of foster care, adoption and parenting traumatized children. Our lives can change in an instant with just one phone call! Foster kids may stay with us for a few days, weeks or months, and even forever! We adopted our Stinkpot, brought to us as a neglected 8-month-old foster baby, and I really struggle (& need advice) with parenting this strong-willed little boy! And you won’t believe the miraculous true story of our most recent quasi-international adoption of our Lil Bit (sign up for our e-book). Oh, and one birthmom is pregnant again…
Join me as I share our struggles and joys of parenting once-neglected children! I’m a Bloggy Boot Camp Austin alumnus and look forward to meeting more SITS Girls at BBC Dallas!
Take 5 seconds to roll call below, and then head over to Penelope’s place to shower her in comment lovin’!

I used to help out at a photo studio that took pictures of foster kids for their bio- you are awesome. That is pretty much it. Have a great day.
What you’re doing takes a lot of love, patience, and strength. I admire you for it.
Happy SITS Day… belated.

Happy SITS Day, belated as it may be. 🙂
The intro above got my teary eyed, what an incredible story to share with everyone. Happy SITS day!
Happy Sitsday! What an incredible journey you are documenting- adopting through the foster care system. I am a former county caseworker, so I’ve definitely seen some ins/outs, ups/downs with the system. I’m so glad to meet your blog!
Happy SITS day!
Wow! Cool that you are able to help so many children.
Happy SITS Day! I wish I could go to BBC Dallas! 🙁
New around here. Glad to join the Sistahood! Off to check out Foster 2 Forever.
Happy SITS day!!! This is great!!
My parents did foster care when I was growing up, and adopted three neglected boys as a result! Foster care was challenging, but I wouldn’t trade my brothers for anything!
Morning to all…off to check out today’s featured blogger. Have a great day
Your story sounds really inspiring. 🙂
Happy SITS day. Loved the blog. What great people.
Happy SITS day, Penelope!

Enjoy your SITS day. You deserve it for the selfless work you do.

Happy belated SITS Day! I left a comment on your site but forgot to check in here!
I so admire people who foster to adopt. My sister has a friend with 4 foster children whom she adpoted and then 4 of her own (1 + triplets). It’s a zoo and I think she is amazing!
Have a magical Monday!
Wow… I’m sure I’m going to learn a lot from your blog! I’m on my way! =D
Happy SITS day to a great blog I already love and follow! 🙂

I have so much respect for foster carers, it’s a hugely important role.
Sounds like a great blog! Going to visit now.

have a fantastic SITS day!
What a cool blog! I was one of five children. Most of my siblings are adopted, and some of my best childhood memories are playing and bonding with children my parents fostered. It’s neat to hear your motherly perspective on it!
I am really excited to check out your blog since this is our plan in a couple of years!
Sounds really interesting, my husband and I have thought about fostering so I look forward to the insiders view.
Oh, wow! Can’t wait to read more. What an inspiring story 🙂
Happy weekend all. Off to check out this blog now. XOXO
Happy SITS day, and bless you for your loving, caring, hard work! Leslie
