Inside the Reality of Fostering a Baby While Raising Your Own Kids

In this episode, I sit down with Kendra to talk about the real experience of fostering a baby while raising her own young children. She shares the moment she got the call, what day one looked like, and how she prepared her kids for a foster placement.We explore what the first year involved — from appointments and family time visits to building relationships with birth parents — and what it felt like to say goodbye after caring for a baby for a year. This is an honest conversation about the emotional reality of fostering, the support you need, and why your life doesn’t have to be perfect to open your home to a child who needs one.Here are some links to find out more about fostering:https://www.thefosteringnetwork.org.uk/about-fostering/what-is-fostering/https://homeforgood.org.uk/fosterJoin our Community: ⁠⁠https://squigglymotherhood.substack.com⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://instagram.com/squigglymotherhood⁠⁠ Tiktok: ⁠⁠https://tiktok.com/@squigglymotherhood⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/squigglymotherhood⁠⁠If you’ve got thoughts, questions, comments or feedback you can email me at ⁠[email protected]⁠.If you’ve enjoyed the episode and would like to support me, buy me a coffee: ⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/squigglymotherhood⁠⁠Hello Fresh Discount: ⁠⁠https://www.hellofresh.co.uk/freebox/MzMxMTU1MzY1LTAtNC0xMS1HQg
