Tyler Daily wasn't planning on becoming a foster parent. But his work in education as a middle school teacher ended up becoming the gateway to foster care. Foster parents are so important in the foster care community, and single foster parents are an incredible group of people. There is no specific data on the number of single foster parents nationwide; however, the 2019 Child Welfare Outcomes report shows that single parents make up 29% of the adoptive family structure with just 3% of that number being single men. Parenting alone presents a lot of challenges that other foster parents may not encounter. As Tyler has fostered 7 children in the course of one year, he says, “It's a circus, but it's a fun circus!” I pray you are encouraged by his story and experience this week.

It's no secret that I love sharing stories of hope and healing. My guest today has an incredible story that includes both of those things! I met Peter at a conference recently and we quickly became friends. He is a surviving street kid, foster dad to over 18 kids, single adoptive dad, an author, speaker, and advocate for children everywhere. Wow! Peter Mutabazi grew up in an abusive home in Uganda and eventually ran away at the age of 10. God used a man in khakis to show Peter that he was loved and valued. Today, Peter's passion is that every child and young person, especially the forgotten, neglected, or abused, deserves to be celebrated, seen, heard, and known.

You will never have all of the information needed to make a sound decision in your life, so you must be able to make decision off of faith.

Peter Mutabazi was born in a small village in Uganda. As a child Peter was physically and emotionally abused by his father every single day. He believed he was worthless. So, when he was 10 his only hope was to run away and live on the streets of Kampala. For six years, he lived with other street kids, sleeping with one eye open, and stealing food to stay alive. Jesus rescued Peter and he joins our team to share his stunning story and his passion to help vulnerable children through Now I Am Known. Also, America doesn’t like losers. But Jesus does: And knowing that he loves us is where life begins.

Today's guest has such an inspirational story to share, and I strongly encourage you to read his book Now I Am Known. Peter Mutabazi is not only a published author but is also a foster dad and has a passion for foster care which is something that I am of course drawn to. Without giving too much away (because you really do need to read his book!), Peter reflects on his abusive, traumatic childhood and how he escaped it. He also explains what led him to where he is today, including how and why he decided to become a foster parent, and he gives advice to people who have considered becoming foster parents but are, for various reasons, afraid to pursue it. Peter wraps up by discussing forgiveness and moving on from trauma. He also reflects on how he reconciles all of the pain and brokenness in the world with the existence of God. I, again, cannot recommend his book enough!

The Main Thing: If you look up "super dad" in the dictionary, you'll see Peter Mutabazi's name as part of the definition.  We can assure you you've never heard a story like his (at least we hadn't!) and that he is one you'll never forget. For Episode 061 Peter joins us to share his personal story of becoming known and his life's mission to make the children in his home also known.  Peter is actively stepping into the trenches with children who desperately need stability, love, and a place to call home. His desire to love, serve and equip them for as long as he can is such an encouragement to those also facing the challenges of the foster care system. Peter's story is the definition of "beauty in brokenness." We hope you're as touched as we were by this episode. Enjoy!Episode Resources: Peter wrote a book!

On this episode of Our American Stories, in Kevin Samy's father's village in India, they actually had to call in a person from another village to teach their children to read. Their chalkboard was the dirt floor of the building they learned in. He'd eventually move to the United States and become an engineer. Kevin Samy shares his family's remarkable American dream story. Peter Mutabazi was born on the border of Uganda and Rwanda. He escaped an abusive father by running away to the capital of Uganda, Kampala, where he lived on the streets for 4 years and never slept more than 2 hours... until one day he met a stranger that would change his life forever.

I am Peter Mutabazi.    And this is my story.   As a child in Uganda, I grew up with shelter, food and clothing scarcity. But more than that, I grew up with safety scarcity. I feared for my life from a father who threatened me, and frequently called me “garbage” and “useless.” Parents are supposed to protect their children. When my father didn't, I ran away from home to live on the streets in Kampala.    Four years of doing whatever I needed to survive, a young couple:   … saw me … heard me … told me I wasn't alone … and showed me that I mattered.   They sent me to school. They put a roof over my head. They clothed me. And fed me three meals a day. And allowed me to be a child. So I could grow up to do the same for others.   I decided to do for other children what this one couple did for me.   FACEBOOK INSTAGRAM WEBSITE   Foster Care: An Unparalleled Journey Find All Our Links Here https://linktr.ee/fostercarenation Merch! http://tee.pub/lic/RwiARsuuDHs Call the Voicemail Line 413-foster 3 (413) 367-8373 Foster Care 101 Free webinar with NO sales pitch!

Dr. John DeGarmo is an accomplished author, foster parent to over 60+ children throughout his time as a foster parent, and founder of the Foster Care Institute. I am certainly not an expert on the topic of foster care but John is passionate about his mission (he's coming on some podunk podcast in the hopes that maybe he will impact even just one more life!) but I enjoyed our conversation and tried to do my homework so that he could showcase his message on my show. I familiarized myself with some nomenclature that I explain in the monologue at the beginning of the episode such as respite care, CASAs (Court Appointed Special Advocate) and so on. It may be helpful for you to check out John's TED X talk before listening to this episode which you can check out in the link below: WATCH HIS TEDX PRESENTATION I really enjoyed getting the opportunity to help John spread his message and if you want to help make the foster care system better in your locale, please reach out to John or someone from his team to point you in the right direction.

George Kenyon shares the good of becoming a foster family, opening his door - and his heart - to two children in need and saying YES - along with his wife - when the universe asks you a question even if you might not be fully ready or think you have the exact and perfect answer. He's also the creator, producer and host of 'George Tells Stories' on YouTube where he does what he does best - share good stories. And on top of all that good stuff, he has one of the best voices ever (next to mine). This episode is also a WORLD GONE GOOD first: It's the full show - unedited - because I loved our conversation so much, I wanted you to hear all of it (and/or I am lazy and didn't feel like editing it). On top of the top of all that in the less than good stuff category, my mic was in a mood (and/or I am that dynamic that I make everything snap, crackle and pop). Welcome to the world of podcasting, where anything can - and will - happen. Enjoy this good ride of an episode in (almost) real time.

God needs men to lead their households in decency and order. God needs the nuclear family to be restored and placed properly divinely. Men have to put God 1st and everything will be established. Men who have children have to be strong and solid. Let's love our children and discipline them with tough love. Let's not provoke our own children ! We have to be good examples! If you have issues with your wife/girlfriend/baby mama work it out and restore it! Peace.

Hello and welcome back to the Miss Amanda Chen Show. We’re now in Season 2 of the 100 Masked Men series, where I anonymously interview different men from all around the world  about what masculinity means to them, gender expectations and how that affects how they interact with women. This month we are taking a special focus on men's mental health, sponsored by Tethr, The world’s first online, peer-to-peer support community connecting men for open and honest conversations about life. This week I'm interviewing men that are challenging gender norms, with a special focus on fatherhood. Masked Man #41 is the Foster Dad. As a man that was brought up without strong parental figures, he found himself navigating through parenthood himself when he was left alone to raise  a 12 year old girl. We get into depth about the foster care system, and how he's been able to give women space to be heard and understood.  I think the most interesting aspect of this conversation is my own struggle in challenging gender norms. I am very quick to state the way things are, but how often do we have a conversation about doing things differently? I was reminded about that today. Let's get into it. I hope you enjoy the show.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Will from The Foster Dad podcast. He's a fairly new foster parent with tons of experience in his short time being involved in this crazy world! This episode is cross-posted to his platform as well. Check out The Foster Dad podcast on Instagram as well as all major podcast platforms.

Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Cara Finger, Chief Bag Giver with My Bag My Story, who shares her story of starting the organization that exists to bring awareness to the community that kids everyday enter the foster care system carrying only a trash bag. The organization sells duffle bags, backpacks and accessory bags and for each item sold, a bag is donated to kids in the foster care system, so they do not have to carry a trash bag. During the interview, Finger talks about partnering with organizations, the impact of their efforts, the power of purpose, and how the community can help.We exist to bring awareness to the community that kids everyday enter the foster care system carrying only a trash bag.We sell awesome duffle bags and backpacks and for each bag sold a bag is donated to kids in foster care, so they do not have to carry a trash bag. Carrying trash bags erodes there since of dignity and self-worth and we are trying to change that one bag at time. Our hope is to start getting corporate sponsorship so we can give more bags. So far, we have donated about 500 bags to kids in foster care. The problem of kids entering foster care is real. There are over 435,000 kids currently in foster care and not enough homes to house them. We need more foster parents and people that are willing to take older kids and sibling groups. Most of the time these kids are harder to place because older kids come into care having been through a lot already.The community can help by first just being aware that this is happening in our community. They can also start to look for products that have a mission. Like my Bag My Story we give a bag when one is purchased. We do pop ups to bring awareness to the community and sell bags.Our next pop up is Friday Dec 18 Save the date!! We will be at @whitesmercantile on 12th Avenue from 10-2!! Come finish your Christmas shopping. We hope to see you there!

Peter Mutabazi spent his childhood feeling alone and forgotten in the streets of Kampala, Uganda, until the generosity of one family changed his life forever.That family taught Peter about the love of Jesus Christ and what it meant to be loved and affirmed. Now, as a foster and adoptive parent, Peter shares that same love and generosity with children in America.If you're anxious or fearful and would like to pray with someone, call the Billy Graham Prayer Line at 1-888-388-2683.Learn more about beginning a relationship with Jesus Christ or deepening your relationship with Him: www.FindPeaceWithGod.net.You can help advance the Gospel through programs like this one.

Well that was a challenge, and when it comes to beer, we love challenges.How did we take the traditional American Light Mega-Lager and make it better? Easy. We made it fresher. For starters, we use fresh local ingredients. Unlike the others, this isn't pasteurized either. This allows the pure clean flavor to shine through.

This week I have my first guest who is a foster Dad. We explore his personal journey of wanting to be a dad but not knowing how to be part of the LGBT Community. He shares how he considered surrogacy, foster care, and finally adopted his two nephews after getting a call from his nephew. Becoming a foster parent and the impact he’s had on children coming in and out of his home. Show Highlights: Mom played both roles of Mom & Dad when his Dad wasn’t around due to addiction His experience with Dad told him what to do and what not to do as a dad You can break the legacy of a bad dad Always wanting to be a Dad but not sure how it was going to happen to be part of the LGBT community Considering surrogacy and foster care and finally adopting two of his nephews Going through separation and divorce while adopting a child The wild ride of fostering 9 children who have never had a father Kids who have never had a father figure in their life Going from married dad to divorced dad, to single dad and being an adopted dad Helping foster children feel like they have a safe space Guest Michel Quinton Quintock_fam Host Jody Sedrick Instagram: https://instagram.com/jodysedrick TikTok: @jodysedrick Email: fathersfyre@gmail.com

I love being in the host seat week after week. Each conversation and story is an invitation toward growth and understanding! Today is no different, as my guest, Peter Reeves, shares his perspective. Peter is a pastor, leader, husband, and dad. He and his wife stepped into foster care over a year ago after battling years of heartbreaking infertility. Peter recognizes that his perspective is uncommon; he's a black man raising white children. He shares what that's like with us, but he also isn't defined by this. I can't wait for you to hear him talk about how he intentionally navigates being part of a multiracial family in 2020.

Today’s guest is Peter Mutabazi, a single foster dad, who opened his home to children in need of safety, love and stability after growing up in an abusive home in Uganda. He went on to become a renowned blogger, youtuber, and creator of “Now I am Known”, a brand with a mission to make children feel seen, heard, and known. His story is making waves and encouraging so many others to love the forgotten children in this nation. For more info: https://linktr.ee/fosterdadflipper

Jesse Simpson had a rough start in life and a different upbringing to most of us. At the age of 4, he and his brother were removed from their family due to neglect and abuse by their biological parents and grandparents. They were then moved to a foster home and taken in by an amazing couple who provided them with a second chance in life. Jesse is now about to turn 21 and studying biomedicine at Melbourne University. He still lives with his foster parents, along with his biological brother and 4 foster siblings.In this interview, Jess tells his story of growing up in a foster home and shares a very powerful lesson that he learned from his foster dad. Jesse's story shows that everyone can teach us something and that we learn lessons from both the positive and negative role models in our lives. What you'll learnJesse's childhood experience of abuse and neglectHow he took on a protector role for his younger sibling What it was like moving to a foster homeThe incredible influence his foster parents have had on his lifeThe most valuable lesson his foster dad ever taught himThe important role and responsibility of a father figureHow young people talk about mental health these daysJesse's thoughts on the Foster Care SystemJesse's work as an ambassador for The Homestretch CampaignMore informationShow notes available at https://thedadtrain.com/21 

Peter Mutabazi was born in Uganda where he was forced to leave his home and fend for himself. But through the kindness of others Peter got a second chance at life.  Today Peter is returning that same kindness as he has fostered 12 children and recently adopted one.

Corey Taylor was an absolute pleasure to speak with. He talks about his journey becoming an approved foster dad at only 22 years old, his current placement, and his experience on this crazy rollercoaster.

The hubbies are back to talk about fears they felt, and still feel, being foster parents.

This episode is gonna give you all the feels friends, so brew yourself a cup of coffee, sit back, and enjoy. Unless you are driving. Then stay focused and alert, but still enjoy this episode. Jeremy was on the podcast on Episode 47: Interview with a Sharp Adoptee and Foster Dad  back in March of this year. He mentioned that he had been gifted with an Ancestry.com gift from his wife, and he wanted to see if he had any siblings out there. WELP. He got what he was looking for. And he also got something he wasn't looking for - HIS BIO DAD!!! We hope that you enjoy this episode. We know that not every adoption story has this outcome, and it can be devastating. We don't want to be insensitive to that. But we do want to celebrate with Jeremy who was able to be reunited with his birth dad - Papa Jeff.  We also want to always be respectful of our guests, so we didn't ask a ton of questions in this interview. We wanted to let Jeremy and Jeff tell their story! (Even though we did try to lay copyright claims on it so we could turn it into a Hallmark Christmas movie!) But major kudos to every single member of Jeff and Jeremy's families for all the major changes they faced this year! The Adoption Triad is something that is SO important in helping Adoptees to feel supported, and that is comprised of the Adoptee, their bio family, and their adoptive family. Jeremy's entire family has just been such a beautiful example of what it looks like to lovingly embrace every new member of Jeremy's family. This takes so much humility and self-control, and we commend everyone who works hard to make the Adoption Triad work well for the sake of their child! A little more on Jeremy: he is a good friend of ours. He is married to Grace, who was a guest on our podcast, on episode 45. Together they have 2 boys, and a little foster daughter. Jeremy works at Stewardship, the company that handles all of our insurance, mortgages, financial stuff! We were once guests on his podcast, The Defining Stewardship Podcast. We highly recommend Stewardship for any and every service they provide! The Good Word of the Day: “For the revelation (vision) awaits an appointed time;     it speaks of the end     and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it;     it will certainly come     and will not delay.” -Habakkuk 2:3 This was actually Jeremy's verse that he shared back in March, and it's even more BEAUTIFUL in light of all that has happened this year!

Jeremy Sharp is our friend, one of our financial advisors at Stewardship, and fellow foster parent. He started his life as a foster baby, born to a teenage mom in Maine, adopted by a Christian couple, and now living his best life in sunny Arizona. He shares how he got from his humble beginnings, to where he is now, in this week's episode. Some noteworthy tidbits from this episode: Born in a tiny town in Maine to a teenage mother, Jeremy grew up in New England (only reason he's a Patriot's fan. Right, Jeremy?... ) . He recently submitted his DNA kit to see what his official background is. He is hoping to be part Micmac and part Jewish. Which is where we came up with Mac Jew. You have to listen to the episode to hear this part of the conversation. Jeremy and his wife, Grace (episode 45), started their foster care journey 3 times! The first two times were just not the right timing, and they used those times to grow, work on their marriage and family, and patiently wait until it was the right time to start fostering.   The Good Word of the Day: "For the revelation (vision) awaits an appointed time;     it speaks of the end     and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it;     it will certainly come     and will not delay." -Habakkuk 2:3 What a perfect verse for Jeremy's life! Especially in light of wanting to be involved in foster care, but having to wait for the right timing for that. But this is applicable for us all, that it is important to have vision AND patience.

It was hard for host Rosie Waterland and her big sister to keep up appearances when mum Lisa hadn't been home in four days. After a while, others started to cotton on - including the Department of Community Services. For a while Rosie and sister stayed with relatives here and there; and then they hit the foster home jackpot: a very-well-to-do family with a big swish house AND a place in the country. Everybody kept saying how lucky they were. Until some pretty suspect things started happening. Rosie and her big sister's time at that house ended up with a set of events that put the two young children in some very uncomfortable and confronting situations. Rosie and Lisa now get to talk about what happened at that time, how Rosie and her sister dealt with it in the months and years afterwards, and how that time now sits with Rosie years afterwards.
