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.

“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.”
Caregivers of individuals with a Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder experience high levels of stress. Some of that stress is directly related with a lack of educated and informed systems and supports. However, parents of children with an FASD make fierce advocates.
On this week’s episode of Orphans No More, host Sandra Flach talks with adoptive dad, Joel Sheagren. A film director and producer by trade, Joel is passionate about bringing awareness to FASD. His current project, Embraced—Truth About Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders , is a documentary created to shed light on the subject.
