Empathy for Biological Parents

This episode is not a complete look into why we should support the biological parents of the children we care for. This is just the beginning. I strongly believe in doing what we can as foster parents to keep adoption open and to include biological parents in these kids lives. I also support reunification which is the goal of foster care. Listen to this episodes and future episodes on this topic to understand why this is so important. Thank you to everyone who has supported this podcast so far.

What Doesn't Help

No amount of stuff will ever heal the trauma these kids go through. Find out in this episode why donating things is not as valuable as teaching these kids to be prepared for adulthood.

Words from a Former Foster Youth (FFY)

This episode will contain potentially triggering topics such as sexual abuse, self harm, suicide, and other forms of trauma. This episode includes the story of a Former Foster Youth who later became a foster parent. Her story is one of triumph and success despite so many traumatic and awful experiences. She is obviously a strong and intelligent woman who overcame all the roadblocks she could not control. Music Credit: Bensound.com "New Beginnings"

Favorite Fostering Experiences

In this episode I will talk about a few of my favorite days as a foster parent. Every-day moments are great and I have so many memories to cherish, but it was the hard days and the growth that resulted that stands out to me the most. I love being a foster and adoptive parent. I hope you enjoy hearing these stories.
