Welcome to The Adoption & Foster Care Journey—a podcast to encourage, educate and equip you as you care for children in crisis through adoption, foster care and kinship care.
On this episode, host Sandra Flach talks with adoptive parents, Will and CarrieAnn Standfest.
The Standfests are dedicated parents with over two decades of hands-on parenting experience, raising eight forever children through biological, foster, adoption, and international orphan hosting. As emerging experts in connection-based parenting, they have navigated the complexities of trauma and mental health diagnoses within their large family.
Will & CarrieAnn are passionate about helping parents build meaningful relationships with their children, which led them to co-create the ‘Connected Parenting Minute’ as a way to encourage parents and strengthen families. Sharing the best of what they have learned to guide others to create the less stressed, more connected homes they desire.
