We talk about taking this responsibility on of being a foster parent. Because I can see you running back and forth to schools and counselors and social workers. So I quit my job and advocated for these boys and took them to their appointments, and with appointments, therapy, that sort of thing, visits, that alone is a full time job for some kids and some families.
What does it take to open your home and heart to children in need? Fran Piffer, a seasoned foster care provider, shares her heartfelt journey in this episode of Recovery Radio. Fran's story is not just about providing a roof over a child's head; it's about nurturing their spirit and offering stability in turbulent times. She explains the process of becoming a licensed foster parent, stressing the importance of family unity and readiness before taking the plunge.
Fran dives into the intricacies of maintaining sibling bonds, managing therapy sessions, and navigating social worker visits. She also sheds light on the trauma these children often carry and the financial support available to foster parents. With a mix of practical advice and touching anecdotes, Fran's experiences highlight the urgent need for more foster care providers and the profound difference they can make in a child's life.
