Parenting Other People's Children with Debbie Ausburn
"Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him". (Psalm 127:3)
Before today's guest even started having her own children she saw the need to wrap her arms around other peoples' gifts.
As a social worker, Debbie Ausburn saw the trauma that children in the juvenile court system experienced and wanted to help. So she became a foster mother, raising other people's children solo.
Debbie is the author of Raising Other People’s Children: What being a foster parent taught me about bringing together a blended family.
If you are a foster/step-parent here are some tips from Debbie:
- show kids how to model a healthy relationship
- commitment is stronger than love
- with children, the commitment is one way
