The Adoption & Foster Care Journey
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
“Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to you. When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” Psalm 61:1-2
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a common topic on this blog and our Orphans No More Podcast. That’s because 80% of children with FAS are in foster or adoptive care. We believe caregivers of individuals with diagnosed or suspected FASD must be equipped and encouraged for this often overwhelming journey.
This week on our podcast we talk with adoptive mom and host of the FASD Hope podcast, Natalie Vecchione. Listen in as Natalie brings 19 years of lived experience parenting a son with an FASD. She offers her top five best parenting pointers:
| FASD presents differently in every individual
| All of our kids have gifts
| Change your perspective to grace-based parenting
| Accommodate
| Don’t lose hope
