“Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your kind spirit guide me on ground that is level.” Psalm 143:10

 

Welcome to The Adoption & Foster Care Journey—a podcast to encourage, educate and equip you to care for children in crisis through adoption, foster care and kinship care.

 

We continue National Adoption Month with a conversation with adoptive mom, author and FASD advocate, Melissa Jacobus. Melissa has been advocating for her adopted children and the rights of all individuals with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders since 1998. 

 

Listen in as Sandra and Melissa discuss the challenges of raising children prenatally exposed to alcohol—especially when systems fail our kids.
