Saint Joseph: The Foster-Father Saint

Joshua is a seven-year-old foster child who moves in with the Martin family. They seem really nice, yet Joshua isn’t sure if his new parents can love him as much as their biological children. With his new brother and sister, Luke and Becca, Joshua goes on a special journey to meet Saint Joseph at the time of Jesus’ birth.

Can Saint Joseph teach Joshua, Luke, and Becca a lesson about love and adoption?

Will Joshua ever fit in with his new family?
