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 see to it that you drink no wine or other fermented drink and that you do not eat anything unclean. You will become pregnant and have a son whose head is never to be touched by a razor because the boy is to be a Nazirite, dedicated to God from the womb…” Judges 13:4-5
This week on episode 311 of our Orphans No More podcast, host Sandra Flach talks about her experiences as a mom of children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.
She says, “Our prenatally exposed kids - no matter their age - can learn. They might learn differently. But they can learn. While we tend to try everything in an attempt to find something that works (myself included) - diet, exercise, supplements, therapies, medication, etc….there is no magic cure for an FASD. And our kids are not going to turn 18 or 21 and suddenly outgrow it.”
Listen in as Sandra shares about focusing on strengths rather than trying to “fix” a child’s disability. Please be sure to subscribe to the podcast, leave a review, and share it on your social media.
