Season 2, Episode 6 of the Fostering & Adoption Podcast dives into one of the most challenging and least talked-about parts of fostering and adoption—navigating relationships with biological parents. In this episode, we speak honestly about the emotional tension, boundaries, misunderstandings, and faith required when bio parents are still part of the journey. This conversation isn’t about blame—it’s about grace, growth, and doing what’s best for the child, even when it’s uncomfortable. Whether you’re a foster parent, adoptive parent, considering fostering, or simply want to understand the reality behind the process, this episode sheds light on what many families experience but few openly discuss.
