Amanda Bashaw and her husband have fostered close to 40 children. Amanda and I talked all the things you have ever REALLY wanted to know about fostering. From parenting exposed newborns, to navigating parent videos, to the brutal and beautiful parts of reunification, to trauma parenting, to why children in foster care NEED someone to get "too attached". If you have EVER thought about fostering this is the episode for you. 

This episode is part two of a three part series with Amanda Bashaw. Part 1 was Episode 29 of The Every Way Mama entitled If You Need a Mama: Amanda Bashaw's Story. Part three, airing on Valentines Day, will be Amanda helping ME tell Harry's adoption story as she was his foster mother and paid a crucial role in helping us take placement.
