2. Lisa’s Story: Beauty from Ashes

“I’ve always dreamed of doing foster care.”When people share their journeys of becoming foster families, this might be a common phrase you hear. The reality is that this isn’t the case for everyone who becomes a foster parent.For our Executive Director, Lisa Robertson, foster care was never on her radar. Lisa married her husband, they had their first baby, and everything seemed to be going as planned when tragedy struck. Join us today as Lisa shares her story of how she and her husband navigated the unexpected, how God began pointing them to the world of foster care, and what he has done in their lives over the last decade.Often, our deepest pain can become our greatest testimony.We hope this story helps you reflect and find encouragement as you think about what led you on your own journey to foster care. Whether it’s infertility, an unexpected need of a relative, a tragedy, or something on your heart all along, God can use anything. He can make beauty from ashes.Welcome back to ReStoried.Episode Highlights: Lisa’s Role at Hope Bridge.Lisa shares about her journey.Having God’s heart for the vulnerable.The importance of building relationships with biological parents.Common issues in the foster care system.The increasing turnover rate with foster care workers.Why we should link arms with social workers.Ways to get connected with Hope Bridge.Find more on Lisa:Find Lisa on Instagram Here!Find More on Hope Bridge:Visit Our Website Follow us on InstagramFollow us on Facebook Foster Our Community Instagram This show has been produced by Adkins Media Co.
