In this heart-to-heart conversation, I continue my interview with recent Focus on the Family guest Julie Bagamary on more topics about foster and adoptive parenting. Today, we dive into the unique challenges foster and adoptive families face and explore practical ways that friends, family, and community members can come alongside them with love and support. Whether you’re not in a position to foster or adopt yourself or want to be more intentional in offering help, this episode is full of real, actionable ideas for making a meaningful difference in the lives of those in the trenches of fostering and adoption.
