How could a book be inspiring, practical, educational, and motivational all at the same time? Kristin Berry makes that challenge a reality in Keep the Doors Open. I began reading one Sunday morning and finished by dinnertime. I couldn’t put it down, and frankly, that rarely happens for me. Thank you, Kristin, for this beautiful contribution. It is a must-have for those considering becoming foster and adoptive parents.” —Sherrie Eldridge, author of Twenty Things Adopted Kids Wish Their Adoptive Parents Knew
“Kristin Berry has written an honest, hope-filled book about the joys and heartbreak of foster care. Keep the Doors Open offers a transparent look into her life as a foster mom—she doesn’t hold back about the challenges or the wonder of caring for children in desperate need. You’ll love her for the way she nurtures the children who come through her door and for her sorrow when they leave. Keep the Doors Open may light a fire in your soul to say yes to fostering a child for the first time or to keep your own doors and heart open to the next child needing a safe place to land.”—Lisa Qualls, author, speaker, and creator of the One Thankful Mom blog

I could not put this book down and found strength, inspiration, and direction in its pages.” —Jamie C Finn, creator of the Foster the Family blog and Real Mom podcast
