Episode 341 - It’s OK to Be You—Living Well with FASD with Kenny LaJoy

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”  Ephesians 2:10

 

Welcome to The Adoption & Foster Care Journey—a podcast to encourage, educate and equip you to care for children in crisis through adoption, foster care and kinship care.

 

In honor of International FASD Awareness Month, all of our September episodes will focus on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders. FASD affects a disproportionate number of children in child welfare, therefore is a topic every adoptive and foster parent must be aware of and skilled in. 

 

On this episode, host Sandra Flach talks with author, adult adoptee, and individual with an FASD—Kenny LaJoy.  Kenny recently released his book, It’s Ok to Be You—Living Well with FASD. 

 

Listen in as Kenny shares his struggles with grief, depression, learning, and daily living and how he overcomes adversity with faith, gratitude, and a support system.
