I'm honored to host an expert today who didn't just learn from books -- the DeGarmo family has welcomed over 60 foster children into their home over the last 20 years. I think that means Dr. John DeGarmo definitely deserves to be hailed as a top expert on foster care!We're all about raising healthy kids here at Kids Cook Real Food, and I want all children to thrive. Whether you've ever considered fostering or simply want to know more about how you can be part of a child's village - a child who perhaps has never felt love in their lives - this short interview is an incredible listen. You'll learn: * What teachers and neighbors and community members can do to help support foster families* How Dr. John and his wife began considering fostering* The hardest parts and greatest joys of being a foster parent* Myths and excuses about foster care* What foster and adoptive parents need to keep top of mind to help them raise their children* The reality out there that no one wants to talk about in America (and where the actual scary places are for our kids)* The most important thing a child needs (and btw, please apply this to your own kids, too!)The fact that there are kids out there who have never felt love is hitting me hard today, and I know our family prayers will begin to include kids in the foster system.
