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 adult adoptee, Trent Taylor. Trent entered foster care at age four due to domestic violence, extreme neglect, and sexual abuse. After traveling a painful journey through the foster care system, he was adopted at age nine and came to dramatic levels of healing from his traumatic past.
Trent, who is now twenty-five, has devoted his life to helping others find healing. He is a mentor, public speaker, and has authored two books: Shattered No More—A Child’s Journey from Trauma to Triumph and Battling the Invisible Enemy—A Guide for Children & Teens to Resist the Magnetic Pull of Technology & Pornography. Trent graduated from Arizona State University with a 4.0 GPA with a B.S. in Family and Human Development. He is the CEO and Co-Founder of Watch Me Rise based in North Carolina. Trent is a trauma consultant and serves as a TBRI Practitioner, Life Coach, Educational Therapist, mentor and parent trainer. He gives all the glory to God for his healing & strives to be a light in the darkness.
