Family Togetherness & Foster Families

An interview with foster mom Regina Lyons

Listen here!

In this week's podcast, I'm interviewing foster mom Regina Lyons on ways she and her husband do family togetherness with their foster kids.

We're chatting about the blessing of foster care, how she decided fostering was right for her (way back when she was a teenager, no less!), and how she overcame the jitters and voices telling her she wasn't enough.

And you bet we're talking about some family togetherness ideas, too.

Listen in. I know you'll come away with a full heart and a new appreciation for your own unique family blend.
