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.

“Oh Lord, you have searched me and you have known me. For you created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb, I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made, I know that full well.” Psalm 139:1, 13-14
Welcome to The Adoption & Foster Care Journey—a podcast to encourage, educate and equip you to care for children in crisis through adoption, foster care and kinship care.
In honor of International FASD Awareness Month, all of our September episodes will focus on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders. FASD affects a disproportionate number of children in child welfare, therefore is a topic every adoptive and foster parent must be aware of and skilled in.
On this episode host Sandra Flach talks with former foster youth, Lucas Boyce. Lucas was born developmentally delayed as a result of prenatal drug and alcohol exposure. He overcame many odds to eventually graduate from college, serve in the White House, and become an executive with the NBA’s Orlando Magic.
Listen in as Lucas shares his against all odds story of hard work, determination, and grace.
