There are many different types of families, but every single family is unique. All families have struggles and moments when they don’t understand why they are going through so many hardships. It can help to know you’re not alone. You might even think, If I belonged to a different family, things could be different. But your family can change without you leaving it. One day a lady named Grace gets a phone call from a friend about a family who needs help. The parents are in trouble and have been sent to jail, but there are four children who need adults to take care of them. Grace and her family agree to bring the four children to their house to stay with them while everything gets worked out. The change is a big one for everyone involved, but with a lot of hard work and patience, the adults and children manage to fit into Grace’s house and go on with their lives. And then one day, after some time has passed and more changes have happened, the children are reunited with their family once more. Through the experience, Grace learned a valuable lesson about the effects of adults’ behavior on children’s lives—and the children learned that there can be family life after foster care. In this children’s story, four children go into foster care and join another family for a short period of time while their parents rebuild their lives.
