lHow much do you know about foster care? Adoption? What can we do to make a difference? In episode #124 of The Family Balancing Act I have the honor of engaging in a deep discussion with three very special guests: Robert E. Ennis, LMSW, President and Founder of The Ennis Center for Children, Inc. that serves all counties in Southeast Michigan. They are a leading agency in finding adoptive families for children, including those with special needs.
Ennis Center also works with delinquent teens, helping them stay safe, stay in school and on a path toward a productive adulthood. Mary Tewksbury is the supervisor for Adoption Option's Parents and Children Together (PACT) Program. Adoption Option Inc is a full service child welfare agency in Midland, Michigan; and Kim Rowan, foster mother to 45 foster children, and has three adopted children and four of her own. She is the founder of It Takes a Village.
Kim is the pebble in the water, the voice of advocacy for ALL children, not only in Michigan.I’m Maureen your host, board-certified Integrative holistic and functional medicine health coach, mom, grandmother, wife, and CEO of my family home operations.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
