Welcome to The Adoption & Foster Care Journey—a podcast to encourage, educate and equip you as you care for children in crisis through adoption, foster care and kinship care.
 
On this episode, host Sandra Flach, talks with Krista LaRock. Kristen and her husband have been married for 30 years and have adopted 14 children including sibling groups. Eight of their children live with FASD—Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. This led to Kristen to raise dogs to support her children and other individuals. Two years ago she founded FASDogs—a service dog organization to support individuals with developmental disabilities including FASD.
 
Listen in as Krista shares about her family’s adoption journey and how they navigate the challenges of FASD on Episode 524 wherever you get your podcasts.
