Today I'm chatting about foster parenting and adoption with my friend Elizabeth Oates. Elizabeth's powerful story will inspire you to examine your own limits and find ways to be the Church to those who need a family and to those families who have chosen to foster parent or adopt.

In This Episode You'll Hear...

• What led Elizabeth and her husband to begin foster parenting
• Why Elizabeth wants to change her family tree
• The importance of being on the same page as a husband and wife
• How to get involved in foster parenting

My favorite recipes this week:

This week, it's all about the crock pot. I'm restocking my freezer with easy meals we can "heat and eat" during busy Fall days.
Chili
Chicken Tortilla Soup
BBQ Pork (We love to use this meat on sliders or baked potatoes.)
