About Family In Progress
From the publisher's feed
At Family Enrichment Center we have a mission to Empower Families and Prevent Child Abuse. Family Enrichment Center's Adoption Resource Program was created to build on the strengths and meet the…
needs of current and prospective foster and adoptive families. Our vision is all about Adoption, Fostering, family support, and everything in between. Whether you’re already an adoptive/foster parent, you’re exploring and looking into being one, or you're looking for ways to support someone who is on this journey - there’s something here for you. This is a really casual podcast where we provide support and encouragement- or at least that’s the goal. The episodes will be a mix of parenting, education, and then guest interviews of community members as they share their journey of adoption/fostering. We hope to make you laugh, relax, and most of all fall in love with parenting, adoption and fostering all over again or for the first time. Visit our website (https://www.familyenrichmentcenter.com/podcast) for podcast information and to submit your episode ideas or questions. Remember to subscribe now from wherever you get your podcasts to get notified on all the latest releases. We want to live in a world where we honor the families in progress.
