Moms of Special Needs, Adoptive, or Foster Children

Hi moms!  I'm working on my first book, which will be (of course) for Catholic Moms.  The chapter I'm writing this week is specifically aimed at nurturing and supporting mothers who have either adopted, fostered, or have special needs children. 

I would love your insights on what types of things moms in these situations can and should do to nurture themselves and their families, both through prayer but also just common sense types of things.  If you would be willing to share your advice and insights, I would love to hear from you!  What would you say to a mom facing these types of situations - either one who has adopted or moms who are raising children with illness or disability?

I'd truly appreciate your help and insights - if you prefer to comment off the site, feel free to email me at lisa@catholicmom.com - Thanks, in advance, for any words of wisdom you can share!
