Foster parents don't have enough support: What to do about it and how to not make the same mistakes I did as a foster parent.

What to Expect While Fostering and Adopting | Adoption, Foster parent, Foster care, Adopting

There is a dire need for emotional support in the foster parent community – a need that often is neglected resulting in overwhelming isolation and unfortunate situations.

I will be vulnerably sharing one of the hardest lessons I learned as a foster parent while fostering and how it impacted the emotional struggles I faced. This episode will cover the importance of support systems, self-care and accessibility to emotional outlets and professional help to recharge and rejuvenate.

My 20/20 hindsight vision since exiting the foster care world has been profound. Including the misconceptions about what I thought was my foster parent role and how I should have been maintaining a professional relationship with the caseworker vs. a peer relationship.

I pray this is an enlightening episode for anyone involved or interested in the journey of foster parenting.
