The work is hard, the risk is real, but the rewards are unbelievable...This week I sat down with Real Life Foster Mom, Chelsea Floro, vlogger and founder of Real Life Foster Mom on Facebook and Instagram, wife and mother of 7. Chelsea understands what I'm talking about. She is living it out daily in a big way. She and her husband, Ryan, are fostering and adopting children with extreme needs. Her honesty and openness about what it's like to love and care for children who have been left behind in the most fragile of ways is beyond inspiring. She is clear on her mission and she shares the very real ups and downs of foster care with others traveling this same path.

Foster care and adoption exist because of a gap. A gap between a child and their birth parents ability to care for them. As with any gap, challenge, obstacle, or trial, there is inevitably a gift waiting for those that chose to be a part of the solution. In this weeks episode of the Mama's Well Podcast we talk with DeJuana Jernigan, President of Arms Wide Adoption Services and President of the Texas Foster Care Association, about some of the biggest gaps that parents and children face.
