Thank you for shining a light on foster care!!

I’ve followed you guys from the beginning and just love your family! I’ve also been a foster parent for the past 6 years. We have two biological children and had the honor to adopt our 6 year old. We’ve also had the privilege to parent 11 foster children over the years. Your most recent podcast really struck a chord with me. There are so many misconceptions and a lack of understanding regarding foster care. Our current placement of two year old twins is on the path to reunification with their parents and there is no way to describe the feeling that comes with walking alongside a family seeing healing. I came into foster care with a heart to help the children, but had no idea the change God would put in my heart to really see an entire family restored. This has been the hardest but greatest thing our family has ever done. I would encourage any and everyone to consider looking into how they can support children in foster care-and there are so many ways to help! Thank you again so much for starting this conversation!

Thank you Jamie and Doug! 4 part review

1. Jamie, thank you for sharing that, you too, deal with people who don’t always lead with kindness. You’re so bright and I feel that way about myself too and my light can get dimmed from other people who choose to take advantage of my kind easy going side and treat me w low respect. I’ve been dealing with the challenge of letting go of thoughts that bring the worst out of me. My sports physical therapist was structurally saving me, but she had moments of subtly disregarding my dignity. When I addressed her about it, she told me it was a ‘me problem’. Thankfully I found a new guy and he gives me baseline respect, but to let go of the frustration is a complete challenge. Lately, I’ve been channeling you through me to find personal control and power.
2. What are your Myers Briggs personality types? my guess is Jamie is an ENFP and Doug is an ISFJ.
3. Doug, I love sports too. I can totally see you being your kids team coach. The patience and ability to not react is inspiring.
4. I’m a gay single woman, however your values as a couple is my goal to get to. I get a little turned off when God is implied to be a ‘he’, but I understand the concept of faith and being driven by the faith in our hearts. Keep pumping me up with faith Jamie and Doug! :)
