Bringing foster children into your family may impact the kids already in your home—both in positive and potentially negative ways. We will provide suggestions on how to integrate new foster children into your home as seamlessly as possible. Our guest expert is Dr. Eshele Williams, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, who brings her professional expertise with counseling foster families as well as her personal experience as being a biological child in a family that fostered many children in her childhood.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Positive benefits of fostering on children already in the family.
  • Possible challenging issues children in the family might face when foster children join the family.
  • Benefits of preparing children in the family for the realities of fostering.
