Have you ever considered being a foster parent but thought that it was just too hard? You need to listen to this podcast with a group of experienced foster parents sharing the joys of being a foster parent.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why did you become a foster parent?
• We talk a lot about the challenges of fostering because we want people to go into it with realistic expectations, but we also need to talk about the many joys you have experienced as a foster parent. Let’s go around round-robin style to share some of the joys.
• Does the pain of when a child leaves outweigh the joys?
• Does it bother you that many of the children you love and care for won’t remember you?
• How to build a support system.
