This companion guide is for parents, counselors, and those who read However Long Forever, regardless of age. It is designed to create a fun environment, develop common language, validate feelings and perspectives of our foster children, help grasp the depth and connections in the illustrations, and to give insight and discussion points. Join Omari, the orca, and discover God's love, healing, and hope - on the journey from place to place.

Foster care is one beautiful way to blend God's children together in this wonderful thing called family. Even when we don't know how long it will last, fostering can create an atmosphere of rest, reunification, restoration, and rejuvenation. In short, it is possibly the single opportunity some of God's kiddos will have to experience His love for them. Foster parents play an active and crucial part in a foster child's life.

With no promise of tomorrow, we want our kiddos to know we love them

However Long Forever.
