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.
On this episode host Sandra Flach talks with Kim Sheagren. Kim and her husband Joel are adoptive parents to two children, now young adults ages 21 and 19. Their oldest son lives with effects of fetal alcohol exposure and their parenting journey has been, and continues to be, wide and vast. Their priority is continued learning of FASD, supporting and encouraging other caregivers, and working to successfully and safely launch their kids into adulthood.
Listen in as Kim shares her parenting journey and how she’s found help and hope through the Hope For the FASD Journey support community.
