Have you wondered what it's like to be a Foster Parent? Are the challenges any different from other families?
In this Episode Efton and I discuss:
what is was like to hear his daughters call him and his wife Mom and Dad for the first time
the benefits of the training that comes along with becoming a Foster Parent
why him and his wife feel their daughters have always been with them
the importance of time with your partner to 'reset' each week
that your kids need to see you make mistakes and apologize in order to learn humility
that parenting is also about the relationship with your spouse and your marriage
"If you want something bad enough, you can make it happen."-Efton Geary
