A Smoother Path to Foster + Adoption 🎙️

Have you or someone else ever doubted your ability to be a foster parent?

For Carlos, that doubt became part of his journey when he was denied after his very first interview to become a foster parent. 🚫

In our newest episode of Licensed to Love, Rachel + Michelle sit down with two Families Thrive families to talk about their journeys to fostering and adoption - and the experiences that led them down the paths they’re on today.

Every family’s story is different. Sometimes the path is intentional. Sometimes it unfolds in ways you never expected. And sometimes, the biggest step is finding the people who see your potential and support you along the way. 🌱

In this episode, we’re talking about real experiences, unexpected challenges, finding support, and what it means to build a family with love at the center. ❤️
