Mamas Well - Parenting Conversations on Foster Care and Adoption

Mamas Well - Parenting Conversations on Foster Care and Adoption

Tara Hutton

The Mama’s Well podcast is a place to fill our often empty buckets... a place to connect with others, as we explore the “gifts and the gaps” of foster and adoptive parenting. Mama’s Well provides a safe forum to ask difficult questions, questions we may feel uncomfortable asking our agency or caseworkers. It’s a place to gather insight and wisdom from those who have “been there” as well as place to grab some quick, user friendly, parenting tips or just a little bit of comfort when you’re feeling weary.

Understanding foster care can be overwhelming and has a steep learning curve. It’s easy to find ourselves stuck in a perpetual state of confusion. While part of being a foster parent is learning to accept the various “unknowns” of our child’s future, we can seek answers to many of our questions from those who have who have walked this journey again and again. Knowing what we can know, prepares not only our hearts, but helps us prepare our families, our homes and our communities for the arrival of a child in need. Foster parent mentors, Amber Robinson and Lauren Bedevian, join Tara Hutton this week to answer five 5 questions every foster parent wants to know in just 36 minutes.

Raising children who’ve experienced trauma can take its toll on our primary relationships like marriage. On this week’s episode, Tara and Kyle Hutton apply the three pillars of TBRI (Trust Based Relational Intervention) empowerment, connection, and correction to their marriage. Their conversation covers: - Empowerment and ways to help empower your partner - Connection, deep listening, “seeing” one another, and the intentionality of creating the space to do this. - Correcting thoughts and behaviors as a “self awareness practice” and the reminder that correction in marriage is an inside job.

Foster and Adoptive Parents, are you feeling overwhelmed? In this first episode of the Mamas Well Podcast you'll be reminded that you’re not alone my friend... Parenting children who have experienced trauma, who have come to us from chaotic backgrounds is tough... there are gaps that need to be filled... attachments that have been broken. All too often there has been abuse and neglect. Trauma can make parenting challenging...and on top of that, we are often unaware of our own unresolved childhood trauma that can wreak havoc on our ability to parent the children we love. Awareness of these gaps, in both parent and child, can guide us to the gift of wholeness and healing.
