Manage episode 362907429 series 3436195
This week's guest, Debbie Ausburn, author of Raising Other People's Children: What Foster Parenting Taught Me About Bringing Together A Blended Family, tells her inspiring story of becoming of a foster parent and then stepparent. She talks about what it was like fostering - the challenges, including gaining the trust of children who didn't want to be there, and the joys - and then integrating into a blended family and managing a relationship with the biological mother of her stepchildren. Not only does Debbie share her experiences fostering and stepparenting, but also shares a perspective that is relevant to all parenting situations.
