Thriving Through Adopted Perspectives
Alrighty folks, welcome back to Season 3, Episode 19 of Transacting Value Podcast!
Debbie Ausburn is a lawyer, author, founder of Other People’s Children, and parent to other people's children. She brings much insight to the act of parenting another’s child. It’s a noble job and not for the faint of heart. Children from broken homes – no matter the reason – are dealing with trauma. Debbie reminds listeners of the high calling of parenting other people’s children. Satisfaction must come from doing the right thing. Expecting gratitude from a traumatized child is wishful thinking and simply unrealistic. Debbie discusses why the foster care system is ill-equipped to build resiliency in children and why kids who age out need guidance and support.
Quotes from today’s episode:
“Good enough parenting is good, and it’s enough.”
“Let them live with the consequences without bailing them out, lecturing about it, or saying anything. Just let them live life in a safe environment.”
