Farmed Out - Privately Fostered

In today's episode of MaryLayo Talks, I’m with guest, Sami Folorunso, to talk about her atypical experience of being fostered. Sami's of Nigerian heritage, and she shares what life was like growing up with white British parents whilst having her Nigerian family very much in the picture.

Questions included:

• What’s 'Farming'?
• What led you to being fostered privately?
• When fostered what was life like?
• Share one or more of your best childhood memories?
• How aware were you that you were different from other children's family set-up?
• Did you have any negative childhood experiences linked to you being fostered?
• What has been your experience of being exposed to two difference cultures?
• Tell us about the joys/challenges of having two sets of parents?
• How do you think your fostering background has shaped you as a person?
• Bible scripture to support spiritual wellbeing.

Take a moment to delve into what may be 'beyond the smile' - listen in to the conversation.

MaryLayo's spiritual wellbeing tip: Meditate on the bible scripture John 1:12-13.
