Chadwick Sapenter

Over the last decade Chadwick Sapenter has worked with hundreds of thousands of current and former foster youth, foster and adoptive parents, social workers, CASA volunteers, government agencies and adoption ministries. These audiences appreciate him because he shares his story with brutal honesty, humor and authenticity.

When Chadwick is not speaking on foster care or adoption he is the founder and Chief Book Maker at Little Book of Words Publishing. As an entrepreneur he’s had his share of successes and failures and attributes his resilience to his hard upbringing and experience as a former foster youth. Chadwick’s life has had its share of adversity, all of which has prepared him to have an impact on the lives of others and most importantly show that it is possible to achieve anything no matter what you’ve been through.

Along with being an entrepreneur, he has written and published several books, the most recent ones are called “Little Book of Words Every Foster Kid Should Know” and “Little Book of Words Every Foster & Adoptive Parent Should Know,” both of these books are impacting the lives of current and former foster children and families nationwide.

Chadwick also volunteers his time as a board member and advisor to several organizations such as: Partnerships For Children, Casey Families, Ready By 21 Sub Committee, CASA, and the Texas Supreme Court Judicial Committee for youth, families, and children to name a few.

He is married to his dream girl, Kimberly, and is a proud father of two incredible boys, Jaylen and Jackson. Their family currently live outside of Austin, Texas and is a tangible example of how in one generation a cycle can be broken.

In Chadwick’s free time he loves writing, reading, serving others, working out, coaching youth sports, mentoring teens in my community, and eating authentic Texas BBQ.
