In this episode we have on one of Gretchen's closest friends who happens to be a foster mother. Alison Olson adopted her oldest 3 kids through a private agency, but a few years ago, they started foster parenting. They've had several kids go through their home. They currently have 7 kids. 6 of them are not adopted, and 1 of them is likely soon to be adopted.
We talk about what it's like to live in the tension of showing grace, but also having boundaries. Of loving not only the children, but their parents. We talk about celebrating growth, within the reality of knowing that some hurt will be chronic. So we have to learn how to live with it, and handle it.
This is a great long-ish episode that you won't want to miss.
