Have you ever considered how you might be able to support vulnerable children and their families?

While many people believe the only way to do this is by fostering or adopting, the reality is that there are still plenty of additional ways we can support foster children and vulnerable women.

And who better to provide suggestions and share a peak into the reality of the foster care system than Tori Hope Petersen, a former foster youth turned foster and adoptive mom?

In her new book Fostered, Tori shares her powerful story of growing up in the foster care system and finding faith.

And in this episode of the SHE podcast, Tori joins me to talk about how we can support foster families and children.

Hi, I'm Jordan.
& I'm glad you're here.

I have a huge heart for helping other mamas (and future mamas to-be) naturally support their body, embrace their femininity, and make healthy swaps for their families in a way that works for them and glorifies God (zero perfection required)

My days are spent writing books, hosting the SHE podcast, sharing product recommendations, and creating resources rooted in biblical values to help you do just that.
