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.

Welcome to ONM - a podcast to encourage, educate and equip you to care for children in crisis through adoption, foster care and kinship care.
“I am laid low in the dust;
preserve my life according to your word.”
Psalm 119:25
At some point in this journey of raising other people’s children, caregivers will experience grief, loss, or sorrow. The little by little disappearance of a life we thought we’d live. Our expectations of family and future seem to evaporate like the morning dew on a hot July day—and we don’t realize it until we’re feeling dry, empty, burned.
This week, host Sandra Flach transparently shares about grief and sorrow from her twenty plus years of experience as an adoptive and kinship parent. Listen in as she talks about her struggles and offers three points of encouragement for fellow adoptive parents.
