Meet Katie Kenny Phillips, author of the “God, You Make Me Feel … “ children’s book series and foster care advocate. She is mother to five human beings and a pencil-eating Australian Labradoodle that they named Norm, after the “Cheers” character from the show where everybody knows your name. Don’t ask why, but, unlike the character who heads straight for the bar, he doesn’t answer, “Beer.”
She calls being a foster parent “a broken and beautiful road” she follows as a means of “pouring Jesus into kids.” People love to read when she blogs about the subject, but getting them to do more than simply read about it is a whole other matter. “Not everyone is meant to foster,” she says. “Everyone can help but not everyone is called to bring kids into your home.”
