When Sarah Sentilles realized she wanted to become a parent, she learned that her husband did not want to bring another child into an already overpopulated world. The two looked to foster care and were placed with a three-day-old girl they immediately fell in love with. In her new book, Stranger Care, Sarah recounts the journey through the system and what happened when their almost daughter was placed back with her birth mother. As Sarah tells Zibby, her goals in writing the memoir were to give herself the agency the system had deprived her of and to remind herself and other readers that love and care don't have to be synonymous with parenthood.
