Lessons learned as a Foster and Adoptive Parent: The Journey from Judgment to Grace

  • Summary

  • On today’s episode, we will talk about the emotional highs and lows, the moments of judgment, and the lessons of grace.

    It wasn’t until I had fully exited the world of foster care that I truly looked back and analyzed my heart’s posture. Knowing the intimate stories of the 77 children that entered our home and the hundreds more that I helped mentor the families of; my heart was broken. It in a place of judgement towards the biological families of these foster children. I wrestled between anger, disappointment, pain and it all settled into disapproval of how hard the lives of these children were.

    It ended up filling my heart with exactly the opposite of what led me to become a foster parent.

    My hope in sharing all of this with you today is that you will embrace the 4 tips I share with you and that it will help you to stay in a place of Grace, acceptance and Gods love through your foster care and adoption journey.

    If you are struggling right now as a foster or adoptive parent, I am so thankful that you found this episode. I want you to know that you are not alone. You are seen, valued, loved and known.
