On today's episode Paula tells us about her time in foster care, how being called a "foster kid" caused her to be bullied and the pain she went through being accused of her mother's murder.
Paula now trains foster parents on how they can make a difference in the lives of the foster kids they invite into their home. Paula was in 6 placements that didn't have much of an impact at all, and her 7th placement made all the difference in the world. She shares the small but such important details of parenting that Bonnie and Larry gave her to become the self sufficient, successful woman she is today.
