In today's extra special episode, Briana interviews her own sister, Ciara. With her husband, Ciara has been a foster parent for 10 years, providing a safe and loving home for 14 children. Recently, they adopted their son and are currently fostering two newborns who are six days apart (not related!).

Ciara and Briana get very open and honest about the realities of being a foster parent and the adoption process. They discuss the struggles, unhelpful comments from others, and why parenting children who have experienced trauma can look very different from parenting biological children. This episode offers valuable insights whether you're considering foster parenting or adoption or simply want to understand more about this important topic.

Key Points in This Episode:

• The journey of Ciara and her husband as foster parents for over a decade
• The adoption process and welcoming their son into their family
• The challenges and rewards of fostering and adopting children
