I created this channel as a space to educate and encourage others. I truly believe that even if we have differing views, we can still get along and be kind. That being said, any hurtful, mean, offensive, or malicious comments will be deleted.
Thanks so much for watching!

I LOVE that you pointed out the difference between a teacher relationship and parenting relationship, as well as having the background experience of parenting.
You should also look for resources that center the voices of adult foster and adopted children, because your potential child’s perspective is important to consider.
It definitely is! In my experience, our agency trainings focused almost entirely on the child’s perspective, so I felt pretty prepared in that sense…but I wasn’t as prepared for how it would affect me. That made the first year for my kids pretty good overall, but I was barely hanging on by a thread! That’s why I tend to focus on that part more in my trainings ❤️
I also came to the comments to say to please seek and listen to former foster youth and adoptees.
@@myshirtisworkinhard I know several adult adoptees and follow many on social media! I find that many people don’t feel like sharing their stories in a public forum (understandably). However, I did an interview with a former foster youth recently that will be up very soon 😊 if you have any ideas of other people to follow or connect with I’m all ears!
So excited for this new resource you are launching! Looking forward to it!

❤ All very true. It was hard for us with our evaluation because we felt that there were some negative views against our religious (Catholic) beliefs, but it was approved in the end. Another issue was our very experienced matcher quit about a month or two into our matching and was replaced with an intern.... The agent that we originally had was amazing because they already had so much experience with state agencies and the kids' backgrounds to the point where she already knew what would be a good fit for us. The loss has not been all bad but has made us more proactive.
Oh man! That is tough!!
I just bought the book the connected child on audible 😊
❤ I'll be looking for that training code!
It’s actually on my community tab on RUclips right now! :)
Has anyone in the comments worked with Ennis Center in Michigan or anywhere else? Or have heard any feedback about it? Thank you community!
Hello, I wonder if you can help me, I am a pediatric home care nurse, who felt in love with a child whom I met at a foster home and decided I want to adopt, process started and foster mom is trying to adopt the same child, she already has an adapted child and she is not happy about me and my husband trying
It is typical that the current foster parents would be given first priority in an adoption situation…this is because the child already has bonded with the family in many cases and can have a smoother transition from fostering to adopting. Unless the foster home is unsafe, it is likely the foster family will adopt the child. There are so many other kids out there who need permanent homes though! You never know what child could be waiting out there for a family like yours!
Hi Katie, I live in Ohio too. Which agency did you use for your adoptions? Please let me know.
We used ACTION Adoptions in Dayton!
Thank you so much!
