"I couldn't be a foster parent, I'm worried I'll get too attached"

Crystal Casey joins us this week to discuss her journey becoming a Foster Mom and why attachment is so important in foster care. Crystal, her husband Ryan, and their two daughters welcomed their 48th foster baby into their home little over a year ago. They are respite and long term foster parents.

Our conversation was so great we are doing this in two parts! Check back later this week for the 2nd part!

We do apologize something went wrong with the audio with Zoom towards the end.
