Fostering our Faith
Ever considered adoption? How about foster care? Maybe you were thrust into kinship care with no notice. Everyone's journey is so different, yet we all have the same heart, serving the children in our world. Having spent my entire teen years in care, and having over 20 foster children, 4 adoptions, including 2 with special needs, I understand "the system" just a bit more than most. Hello, my name is Angela Paganelli and I invite you to join us as we listen to people who are connected to the world of adoption and fostering, all while building our faith, encouraging our listeners, and hearing that we are not alone. Thank you for listening!
