With Anglicare.","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":3131,"description":"In this episode Ann talks with Nicole Martin, Head of Foster Care, Adoption & Family Support at Anglicare, as well and two current foster mums: Robyn and Kate. Together they share a compelling vision of how churches and Christian families can show the love of God to some of the most vulnerable people in our society. Ann asked our guests a number of questions including:- Why do some children need to enter foster care? - What is the relationship like between foster parents and birth parents?- How has fostering impacted your own biological children?- What are the different types of foster care?- How can churches work together to support foster kids and their families?- Are you allowed to share your faith with your foster children?- Do you need special qualities to be a good foster carer?- What training and support is available for foster carers?This conversation will help you to see that supporting foster care is something that all Christians can do - in some surprisingly simple ways. Together, we can help vulnerable children to experience the love of God through the practical care of his people.Links:Anglicare Foster Care Resource Hub Mothers Union Sydney.
