Jones tells the raw truth behind America’s foster and adoption system, sharing the day-to-day realities and challenges of raising children with mental and physical limitations, and tells parents (and would-be parents) what they most need to hear: It won’t be what you expect, and you are not alone. In “Shattered” (AuthorHouse, May 16, 2023), Jenell M. PHOENIX, Arizona – Adoptive and foster parents assume there will be adequate resources to support their growing families – but too often, the system doesn’t follow through. Press Release about our expert guest, plus more detailed interview notes from a past interview about her new book:Īdoptive mother shares first-hand experiences of under-supported foster and adoptive parents Jones’ blueprint of success can be summed up in a few statements: Be tenacious, be kind, be loving, but most of all…be forgiving. The goal is not to be perfect but to assist others in rising through difficulties. Through her life experiences, passion is the source by which she governs herself to make a difference. A native of Phoenix, Jones has provided her expertise to families for the last decade and currently hosts private discussions with other foster and adoptive parents on current issues affecting the nontraditional home.
