Send us a text

“I’m struggling as I parent my foster kids, I feel at a loss and overwhelmed.” “I feel all alone, how can I build a support system?” “Am I being the parent my kid needs me to be?” — We heard from Josie Mae Wells in part one of this series two weeks ago, when we discussed her story, vocational development, and community support system. If you missed that one, be sure to check it out! Today, we hear part two of Benoit Harpey’s interview with Josie Mae Wells, Public Relations Coordinator at Friends of Foster Children. In this episode, Josie shares how important it is to adapt to your kid’s needs; the deeper lessons of hope, resilience, and patience she learned through helping raise her sisters; and how vital it is to build a good support system with community, friends, and mentorship. Additionally, she says something we all need to hear: sometimes growth isn’t linear; you need to take one step back to take two steps forward. There will be struggles, but there are ways to work through them. Tune in today to get practical tips, tools, and strategies from an expert in foster care who hopes to help you in your parenting journey!
