Debbie Ausburn never had biological children, but through foster parenting and step parenting, she has collected 7 children and 10 grandchildren.  Debbie has worked with youth-serving organizations for more than 40 years. She has served as a camp counselor, juvenile court probation officer, group home parent, criminal prosecutor of crimes against children and litigation attorney advising youth-serving organizations throughout the United States. Debbie enjoys sharing the lessons her children have taught her about how to build strong relationships as a Plan B parent.  She has put those lessons into her recent book Raising Other People’s Children: What Foster Parenting Taught Me about Bringing Together a Blended Family.
