Have you ever thought about becoming a foster parent? Did you know there are currently 368,000 children in foster care in the U.S. with nearly a third of those children waiting to be adopted according to Statista, the Christian Alliance for Orphans, and other sources?

This week on the Mama Work It podcast, foster and adoptive mom Elizabeth Shafer (also the founder of Tandem Life Coach) shares her experience as a family who has fostered nine children and adopted three of them. Elizabeth peels back the curtain on what foster care is really like and how, despite the grief and sadness encountered at various points in the experiences, she wouldn’t change a thing as it brought her and her husband their three most precious gifts.

Here’s what you’ll get out of this episode:

· Elizabeth’s journey with infertility and how it led her to becoming a foster parent and adoptive parent

· The process on how to get started as a foster parent

· The stuff no one talks about when it comes to reunification in foster care and Elizabeth’s personal foster experiences

Here’s where you can find Elizabeth and connect with her after the show:
