About Mamas Well - Parenting Conversations on Foster Care and Adoption
From the publisher's feed
The Mama's Well podcast is a place to fill our often empty buckets… a place to connect with others, as we explore the "gifts and the gaps" of foster and adoptive parenting. Mama's Well provides a safe…
forum to ask difficult questions, questions we may feel uncomfortable asking our agency or caseworkers. It's a place to gather insight and wisdom from those who have "been there" as well as place to grab some quick, user friendly, parenting tips or just a little bit of comfort when you're feeling weary.
