Host Sandra Flach is a mom of 8 children, 5 through adoption—one kinship and 4 international. Her youngest 2 are teens diagnosed with a Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). With over 30 years of parenting experience and 20 plus years as an adoptive and kinship parent, she’s made mountains of mistakes and learned loads of lessons. She understands the difficult road of parenting children with trauma histories—and she is still in the trenches! The Adoption & Foster Care Journey is a podcast to encourage, educate, and equip you to care for children in crisis through adoption, foster care, and kinship care. We aim to support adoptive and foster families by sharing encouraging real-life stories and equipping them with modern-day research and parenting techniques.

“With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith.” 2 Thessalonians 1:11
According to the scriptures, all believers are called to care for orphans and the vulnerable among us. While not every family is called to foster or adopt, those that do step out in faith find that God equips them for the journey—even if it feels more like on-the-job training.
Most parents raising children with trauma histories would agree, it’s the hardest work they’ve ever had to do but also the most rewarding. Adoptive mom and veteran homeschooler, Linda Nasman, agrees. Linda and her husband have raised four biological sons before adopting three children from Ukraine.
Linda shares her story of adoption and raising and homeschooling children with FASD, on this week’s episode of our Orphans No More podcast. Tune in and hear Linda share how she’s learned to walk by faith and parent with patience.
