"Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you." -Deuteronomy 31:6

 

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.

 

September is FASD Awareness Month and we’re kicking it off a special guest, Maggie May. Maggie is an adult born in Ireland with an FASD. She speaks internationally about the impact prenatal exposure to alcohol has had on her life. Maggie provides advice for parents and caregivers of people with FASD and supports individuals, like herself,  living with FASD. She also runs monthly online support and social groups for kids, teens and adults living with FASD in 5 different countries. Maggie is an ambassador for FASD Awareness UK and the FASD Red Shoes Rock Ireland Ambassador. She is also a member of the International Adult Leadership Collaborative of FASD Change-Makers.

 

Listen in as host, Sandra Flach, talks with Maggie about growing up with FASD and how she navigates life as an adult.
