“There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.” — Nelson Mande

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.
