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.

“Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” 1 John 3:18
Fifty percent of newly certified foster parents resign from fostering after the first year. For many, caring for traumatized children is daunting, isolating, and heartbreaking. However, those who receive support from the community around them tend to thrive, as do the kids placed in their homes.
Foster Well is a Delaware based nonprofit working to connect the foster care community with those who want to love and support them. On this week’s Orphans No More podcast episode, we talk with Foster Well founder, Christine Robinson. Listen in as Christine shares practical ways volunteers can help a foster family to foster well.
Host Sandra Flach also shares two more Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder facts from FAFASD.org. FASD discussion bookends the guest interview. So be sure to listen to the end.
