Christie Werts initially had reservations about revisiting the foster care system but changed her mind when tragedy struck the life of Levi, her husband’s ex-wife’s newborn son. Levi’s mother passed away shortly after his birth, prompting Werts to step in to ensure he could stay with his siblings. Despite her own challenging experience in foster care, Werts embraced becoming a foster parent and eventually adopted Levi. Her journey and family’s story have been shared widely on social media and inspired her to write a book, reflecting on her childhood in foster care and the love she now shares with Levi and her blended family.
