Leaning In With Audra Bullock

Grief and joy. Intensely challenging and hugely rewarding. Adoption is complex. Listen in as adoptive mother and non profit leader Audra shares what she's learning leaning in.... Audra is the founder and CEO of The Friends of Foster Care. She holds BS, MS, and PhD degrees in Engineering from Old Dominion University and has worked as an Assistant Professor and NASA Mission Manager. Since becoming a foster parent in 2015, Audra has dedicated her professional life to supporting foster children and building programs that create long-term impact. Dr. Audra Bullock and her family became foster parents in 2015 when a three-year-old boy was placed in their home. His arrival changed their lives and transformed the way they viewed family. They fell in love with him immediately and made a lifelong commitment to support him, no matter where his foster care journey led. Recognizing that, without meaningful support, he was at risk of following the same path that had brought his family into the foster care system, Dr. Bullock and her family made it their mission to ensure that other children in foster care have the love, stability, and resources they need to thrive. Since then, they have adopted two wonderful children through foster care and remain deeply grateful for the life-changing experience of building their family through foster care. https://friendsoffostercare.org/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/audra-bullock-024704149/ https://www.facebook.com/thefriendsoffostercare https://www.instagram.com/thefriendsoffostercare Guests and the host are not (unless mentioned) licensed pscyho-therapists and speak from their own opinion only.
