So, You Think You Want to Foster?
by Jim Bryans
Hi everyone, about my book, ‘So You Think You Want to Foster?’ It was published years ago, and back then, in case some of the content might be seen as sensitive, I changed everyone’s name to fictitious names. However, in this revised edition, the names of my family, and our adopted children are used in videos that are here on my website. That being so, it could confuse the reader. I have corrected that and in this updated release, I have done my utmost to present it as clearly and honestly as possible. So, if you do read it, enjoy!
The Ultimate Nightmare
You never dream that a bizarre turn of events could transform your life in a way that seems irrevocable. Even though Jim suffered ‘The Ultimate Nightmare,’ and despite the agony he faced on a daily basis for seven long years, he had to put on a brave face and deal with the task of bringing up his six birth children and four adopted children, three of whom had very special needs with no speech. He felt that the horror he was suffering should not overshadow the love of his wife and children and jeopardise their security, but when he was certain he was dying he had no alternative other than to have a heart to heart with them. They were so shocked and distressed and wept as they kissed him goodbye Jim’s story is unique, this has never happened to anyone else, and let us hope that it never does!
