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

It’s September—International FASD Awareness Month! All month long we will focus on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.

On this episode, host Sandra Flach continues the FASD conversation with Julia Rivera. Julia is a retired attorney and co-founder of the Texas FASD Network. After years of unsuccessfully seeking interventions for her son’s perceived behavioral issues, he was finally diagnosed with the underlying problem—Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Implementing the FASCETS Neurobehavioral Model for FASD revolutionized her parenting and saved her son. When she’s not advocating for FASD awareness, you can find Julia at her home in the Kansas City area with her 3 boys—her hubby Angel, her son who is now 22, and her cat, Buster. 

Listen in to Sandra’s conversation with Julia Rivera on Episode 499 wherever you get your podcasts.
