As special need parents, we believe God has entrusted us to care for our children.

But should we release our kids into the world like a typical parent would? Or should we care for our special needs kiddos indefinitely on our own?

There are no cookie-cutter answers to these hard questions, but it helps to talk with a parent who is a few steps ahead.

In Episode 19, we continue our series “Letting Go: Learning To Release Our Kids Into The World” by interviewing Fern Douglas.

Fern is a wife and mom of three. Her son, Alex, was born mentally and physically disabled. She shares openly regarding her struggles as a parent and how her and her husband prayerfully decided to place their son at the age of 20 into a group home.
