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.

Words from a Former Foster Youth (FFY)

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.

What Not to Say to a Foster Parent

In this episode I will discuss how certain questions can create awkward conversations. I will also cover more about what it is like to be a foster parent and common misconceptions about foster care. Themes of this episode include; reunification, fostering teens, open adoption, and challenges of parenting. This episode is still a little broad and introduces many topics I will cover in depth in future episodes. Show note: I mention being selfish and I want to clarify that I believe everyone is selfish to some extent. This is not meant to be a personal attack. Personally my goal is to learn to make choices in a way that benefits the most people including myself, but I still often find myself making selfish choices that do not benefit others in the way I would hope. I think it is okay to care for ourselves and make selfish decisions because without that, we would not be able to help others. I think it is also important that we contribute our time and talents to create a well balanced community. We are all selfish and we could all improve this in some way or another. I do not believe I am in any way superior and I'm very aware I have many flaws. When I state that we should contemplate whether or not the word selfish applies to us, I include myself.

"You Will See"

This is the story of our family and how we became adoptive and foster parents. This episode discuses religious themes such as personal revelation from God. I believe God still talks to His people and can inspire each of us to follow paths when we might choose a more comfortable direction. I will discuss the way in which I have received this personal revelation and how it inspired my choice to adopt our children. This episode is meant to be a summary and I will go more into depth on each concept in future episodes. There might be many controversial topics that I glaze over. I cannot spend too much time explaining every detail or the episode would never end. Please be patient with my lack of editing skills in this episode. I am learning and episodes will get better. The music is a little loud at the beginning but it will fade out. Thank you for your understanding. Music for this podcast is derived from www.bensound.com. The song used for this episode is titled, A New Beginning.
