October is National Book Month! We’re celebrating by sharing a few of our favorite foster care and adoption-themed books. From children’s books to parenting guides to YA novels, there’s something everyone can appreciate here.

It’s that time again: summer days have gone by too fast, the school supplies that appeared in stores right after the 4th of July have been ransacked by fellow parents, and yellow school busses are starting to show up on neighborhood streets each morning and afternoon. Back to School can be a stressful time for many foster and adopted youth – even those who crave structure and routine. We share some tips for navigating this transition in a way that can help everyone in the family feel more in control and ready to tackle a new school year.
