Life After Placement: For Foster Families

In this episode, we talk about life after placement. When you welcome a child into your home through foster care, you don’t just have a new child but a whole new family. What needs to happen in those first few months so you’ll have the margin to meet your family’s needs? What does your new child need? We’ll talk about the need to simplify and slow life down, invite predictability, cocoon and build trust, study and observe your new child, and explore your own motivations and expectations about foster care, which at this point will likely need adjusting!
