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.

I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5
Shame, stigma, and myths surrounding Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders create barriers to helping individuals on the spectrum. The more caregivers are educated about FASD and the more equipped they are to parent children with an FASD, the more successful the outcomes will be for our kids.
This week on our Orphans No More podcast, host Sandra Flach, dives into two more FASD Facts from the FAFASD website. Tune in and learn how to navigate the shame and stigma associated with FASDs and how to tackle the myth that conveys a message of hopelessness surrounding those with an FASD.
