Sometimes, being a medical parent is thrust upon you. Other times, you chose it by deciding to adopt or foster children with medical needs. On today’s episode, Stephanie shares the story of what moved her to become a foster parent for medical kids and how that journey has unfolded for her family. She also discusses the process of being used for something greater and the many lessons she has learned along the way.

Stephanie and I met in Omaha while both our daughters were inpatient for transplants. If you’d like to follow her daughter Ellie’s multi-visceral transplant journey, check out ‘A Belly for Ellie’ on Facebook!
