On today’s episode, Mara shares about being a child advocate and how that led her and her husband to being a kinship care provider for a teenage girl. We talk briefly about group homes and the “wish list” Mara has for the future of group homes. She gives us good things to think about when it comes to being involved in the lives of children in foster care, and provides us with resources, thoughts, and insights that are helpful to everyone!
Mara Shorr is a highly regarded national consultant, speaker, and writer, as well as a former foster parent and current volunteer advocate for children through the guardian ad litem program in Orange County, FL.
You can find more information about Mara on her Instagram or shoot her email if you just want someone to talk to about your own journey as a foster parent or kinship caregiver.
