2021-02-0932 minYou Will See a Foster and Adoption PodcastEmpathy for Biological ParentsThis episode is not a complete look into why we should support the biological parents of the children we care for. This is just the beginning. I strongly believe in doing what we can as foster parents to keep adoption open and to include biological parents in these kids lives. I also support reunification which is the goal of foster care. Listen to this episodes and future episodes on this topic to understand why this is so important. Thank you to everyone who has supported this podcast so far. Please share this and/or leave a comment.
