We initially thought our age preference was 2-6 year olds, but as we have gotten more information/education we think we may be a good home for teenagers. We have no children (adopted/fostered/biological) between us but this also means we have no one else in the home at this time. We are still interested in fostering (and adopting should the opportunity arise) younger children as well at some point. My question is would it be "better" for us to start with teens and move to younger children after the teens have left our home (for college, work, general adulthood independence) or would we be better prepared for teens after having younger children first?Resources:Becoming a Foster ParentFoster Care AdoptionWelcoming an Older Child to Your HomeSupport the showPlease leave us a rating or review.

Amanza Smith is an accomplished entertainer, real estate agent, and advocate who has overcome immense personal challenges. Born to a mixed-race family in small-town Indiana, Amanza faced racism and abuse from a young age. Despite these adversities, she pursued her dreams, becoming a cheerleader, model, and reality TV star. Amanza's big break came on the hit show "Deal or No Deal," which led to her joining the prestigious Oppenheim Group and starring on "Selling Sunset." Beyond her professional success, Amanza's most inspiring role is that of a single mother. After her ex-husband's sudden disappearance, she fought tirelessly to provide for her children, relying on government assistance at times. Today, Amanza uses her platform to advocate for victims of abuse, encouraging others to seek help and support. Her ultimate goal is to inspire change through a design-focused TV show and a line of home goods. Amanza's journey is a testament to the power of resilience, creativity, and the pursuit of excellence in the face of adversity.2:18 - Introduction to Amanda Smith's Diverse Career  12:01 - Amanza's Unconventional Family Background18:55 - Experiencing Racism and Physical Abuse as a Child 30:35 - Coping Mechanisms: Gymnastics and Humor36:00 - Transition to Modeling and Acting42:27 - Challenges in Marriage and Financial Struggles 48:15 - Joining the Oppenheimer Group and Selling Sunset54:38 - Ralph Brown's Disappearance and Legal Battles1:00:52 - Advice for Victims of Abuse: Seeking Help and Therapy1:06:35 - Amanza's Goal: Hosting Her Own Design-Focused TV Show1:12:15 - Developing a Line of Home Goods and Furniture Products1:18:35 - Considering Adopting an Older Child in the Future1:24:23 - Amanza's Perspective on Dating in Los Angeles1:30:30 - Dealing with Haters and Social Media Criticism1:36:06 - Amanza's Responsibility as a Successful Black Woman1:42:29 - The Biggest Lesson Amanza Has Learned in Life1:48:13 - Amanza's Number One Personal and Professional Goals1:54:32 - Amanza's Biggest Regret and the Craziest Thing in Her CareerSponsors:Sandee | Bliss: BeachesWant to Connect?

Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.Question: I just became a foster parent of a 14-year-old girl. She came with a cell phone paid for by her prior foster family. I told them I wanted to take over payments. I also want to sit down with her periodically and spontaneously and ask her to show me what she's been doing on her phone while I show her what I do on my phone. I hope she will realize she can tell me anything and that I won't hide things from her. Is this a good idea? How should I approach it? Do you think it will build trust, or will she resent it?

Heartbreaking was the only word that could be used to describe the death of a 10-month-old baby in Perth. What was less clear cut is the question that was posed to the judge - was the baby boy's death an accident, or was he murdered by his father? Judith Fordham has been lauded as one of Western Australia's most high-profile criminal lawyers, but her dual expertise in law and forensics sets her apart from her colleagues. In this episode with host Kathryn Fox, hear about one of the most divisive areas in both forensic science and the law - "shaken baby syndrome".  This episode references child abuse and infant loss.

Question: My husband and I are seriously considering domestic infant adoption. In my research I have found grants are available for people who want to adopt. We make decent money, but do not want to spend all of our savings on adoption fees when we know expenses will only go up when we have a child. Will filling out applications for grants be a waste of time for us or will they consider us even though we make decent money?Resources:Affording Adoption (Resource page)Adoption Tax Credit (Resource page)Welcoming an Older Child to Your Family (Resource page)This podcast is produced by www.CreatingaFamily.org.

This week I'm speaking with Jane Harris, Co-Founder of The Good Grief Project.I've known Jane and her husband Jimmy for some years now, ever since I started The Grief Gang really. It has been long overdue getting Jane onto the podcast, but here we are. Jane and Jimmy's story is rooted in the grief for their son, Joshua, who died unexpectedly aged 22 in a motorbike accident whilst travelling in Vietnam.Since then, the breadth of Jane and Jimmy's work is extensive and so moving, all in the name of their son Joshua and to help other bereaved parents and siblings. Jane in this episode offers both a personal and professional perspective to what it is like navigating grief for an older child, whilst also being a therapist. How both Jane and Jimmy knew the importance of community very early on in their grief, especially regarding planning Joshua's funeral. And what it's like raising children whilst grieving for a child too.Jane and Jimmy work tirelessly to support other bereaved families, their retreats are a balm for all those who need them.

We all know the cliches about older siblings being responsible, younger ones being creative, and middle children being peacemakers. But is there any evidence our position in the family has an impact on our personality? Madeleine Finlay meets Dr Julia Rohrer, a personality psychologist at the University of Leipzig, to unpick the science behind our intuition about birth order.

Ted and Carlos adopted Daniel when he was eight through the foster care system. His parental rights had already been terminated and he'd been through multiple failed placements before arriving in their home. On this special episode, we get to hear from Daniel, himself, about his experiences, as well as chat with Ted and Carlos about the joys and challenges of adopting an older child who has been in the system longer and how they surmounted difficulties through love, patience and perseverance. They talk about the "honeymoon period", behavioral challenges and helping Daniel get off lots of medication. They discuss how they bonded as a family during the pandemic, and "family fun day", a family tradition they developed when they were getting to know each other that they still try to continue today. They also touch on homophobia and how they deal with it, as a family with two dads. Ted is an old friend of mine from my college days of studying in London. I'm thrilled to have had the opportunity to interview him and his beautiful family.

In This episode, we sit down with Vaughn and Marvin, two adoptive dads, as they share their journey as a same-sex couple navigating the open adoption process. We discuss their experiences, similarities, and differences in adopting a newborn vs. an older child placement(a two-year-old). We also dive into the many hurdles faced with finalization, navigating transitions from one household to another, identity, addressing the importance of inclusion and diversity, how to deal with the opinions of others, and how they overcame personal challenges.

Once your little one transitions into their big bed it is a total game changer! For many families- for the worst! Once their children realise they can get out of their own beds it can cause sleepless nights for your child as well as confusion and exhaustion for parents. If all the elements that combine to get great age appropriate sleep aren't aligned, parents may experience plenty of disruption, frustration and of course exhaustion as they attempt to get their child to stay in their own bed! Like all sleep challenges our babies and toddlers face, its crucial for parents to understand WHY this is happening developmentally and what are the factors that are causing their child to get out of their bed.  Finally, we want to settle on a strategy that you can implement successfully to have them stay in their bed which are discussed in this episode.  This episode is incredibly practical as it takes you through a 5 Stage approach to identifying WHY your child isn't staying in their bed as well as giving some practical strategies to work through to have your child stay in their own bed from now on!

Making the transition to college can be difficult for your new college student...and often we as parents get calls when things are not going well. In this episode we look at 6 common issues that freshman have at college and how to help them deal with those issues.

This episode originally aired in July 2022 as part of Cultivate Season 1. We're looking forward to sharing this eye-opening, important conversation with you again this summer, to encourage strong, Godly influence and relationships with your older children. We invite author, pastor, and speaker Dr. Tedd Tripp to talk with our host Ty Fischer about how Christian parents can relate with their older children and teens. Ted's well-known book, Shepherding a Child's Heart, is often remembered for its call on parents to establish Godly, firm but loving authority with their young children, but the second part of the book covers how that relationship changes as our children mature. Ted encourages parents with older children on how to relate with their teenage kids in a way that invites influence over their lives, rather than heavy handed authority, and offers hope for those who worry they've blown it already (hint: it's not too late).

If you haven't listened to an earlier podcast I did on “Helping our Children Develop a Biblical Worldview, ”I suggest you go back and listen to that podcast, because some of that information is foundational to help your child build a positive, godly self-image and that will go a long way in helping them stand against all the negative feedback they receive in their life. What Forgiveness Does Not Mean:They won't feel hurt or sad anymore.They feel all warm an fuzzy after they forgive.They excuse what the other person did.They will just forget what was done to them.That they have to pretend it didn't hurt or happen.Doesn't mean they have to be friends with the person.What forgiveness is:Accepting that the other person hurt them and yet choosing to forgive them.Realizing that what the other person says about them (in the case of bullying, etc. is not the Truth.) They need to have a strong self-image based on what God says about them. That's why it's important to help them build that during their early childhood years.Choosing to keep no record of the person's wrong doing.Choosing not to keep thinking and rehearsing what happened over and over again in their mind. (Every time it comes up, they ask God to help them stop thinking about it. Pray instead for the person and that's may be the hardest but best thing to do.)Refusing to get back at the person who hurt them or punish them in some way.Not telling everyone what they did--spreading rumors about them, etc. (Sometimes it's necessary to tell an adult if what the other person did was bullying, illegal or harmful to them or someone else.)Forgiving themselves for any part they may have played in the offense. If necessary, confessing it to the other person and asking for their forgiveness. Then confessing it to God and receiving His forgiveness.Realizing that forgiveness is not easy, but that God can help them if they keep praying about it and praying for the other person. Realizing that we can't forgive in our own strength. Only God can help us. Also, although we choose to forgive on a specific date and time, it may take a while to work through the feelings and emotions. Some practical ways they might help your child with forgiveness:Perhaps your child might find journaling helpful—recording what happened, writing scriptures about forgiveness, and writing out their prayer of forgiveness and their daily progress in forgiving.Writing the offense on a piece of paper and after they have prayed and asked God to help them forgive, burn the paper (with your supervision).Check out free resources and downloads on my website: Website: http://SandraKayChambers.com Follow Me on Social Media: Instagram: http://instagram.com/SandraKayChambers Facebook: http://facebook.com/SandraKayChambersauthor Pinterest: http://www.pinterest.com/SandraKayChamberswriter Thanks to my Virtual Assistant, Alyssa Avant (https://alyssaavantandcompany.com), for her tech genius and help with this podcast.

This is such an important episode, because not only am I going to share parts of our adoption story (from my perspective), I will also share how I came to understand and accept this was my personal path to follow. This is not a story about visualizing your future self. This is a true story about the one thing that needs to happen before you can manifest anything at all. In order to do this, we must release our innate need to control things. I am going to get real, raw, and share some details in this episode, but only those details that are mine to share. So, sit back, relax, or take a walk and let's spend some time together dishing it all out. If you've ever wondered how it all went down, this is the one to hear. Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel and check out Extra Light, weekly on Fridays. Want to have a conversation? I welcome those! Send a message to sunnythelifecoach@gmail.com and let's make it happen.

Blood in the vomit. Blood in the stool. Blood in the diaper. How far do I go in my investigation? What do I really have to worry about?   The differential diagnosis of GI bleeding in children is broad. (Here is the complete differential diagnosis) In the ED, we can simplify by categorizing by age and appearance.     Neonates GI bleeding in the neonate (less than one month of age) is serious until proven otherwise. Well appearing? If this in obvious anal fissure, then no further work-up is necessary.  Counsel on proper feeding and follow-up. Evaluate for potential swallowed maternal blood by examining mother with a chaperone, then perform the Apt test. Consider allergic proctocolitis if the child is well.  Counsel the breastfeeding mother on diet modification.  If formula fed, the child should feed through thus until the primary care physician decides whether to start the sticky process of changing up formulas. If unclear, consider a complete blood count and/or further work-up and admission if unwell. Ill Appearing? The three most dangerous diagnoses in the neonate are necrotizing enterocolitis, malrotation with volvulus, and inherited coagulopathy.  It is important to note that 15% of necrotizing enterocolitis occurs in full-term babies; malrotation can present simply in shock, without initial overt bleed.  Inherited conditions may not be known to the family early on, as they have not yet heard back from the neonatal screening done at birth. Pitfalls in the neonate and infant Genitourinary bleeding; hematuria; or uric acid crystals: the classic fake out here is the orange or pink stained diaper – that is actually residue from deposits of uric acid crystals in the urine, an almost always benign phenomenon in which the concentrated crystals oxidize and stain the diaper, frightening the parents. Think -- pink stain, without clot:   Infants and Young Children Well appearing? Through the first year to age 5, things like infectious colitis and gastritis are common. Ill appearing? Think about intussusception, cryptic liver disease, or esophageal bleeding. Check the skin – is that a dark purple palpable rash on the buttocks? Think Henoch-Schoenlein purpura. Focus: Meckel's Diverticulum Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital malformation of the GI tract, and the most common cause of GI bleeding in the toddler.  It is a remnant of the omphalomesenteric tract – it came from a long tube that once connected the yolk sac to the lumen of the midgut.  A stranded island of gastric tissue secretes acid in the intestine, where it doesn’t belong.  Sometimes these islands never cause much trouble. When it does present itself, a Meckel’s diverticulum usually follows the rule of twos: Presents by age 2 Affects 2% of the population Often 2 inches in length May include 2 types of mucosa Found within 2 feet of the ileocecal valve. Not actively bleeding: technetium-99 pertechnate scintigram (Meckel’s scan). Actively bleeding: radio-labeled red blood-cell scan (resuscitate and call your surgeons!) Pitfalls in the infant and young child Epistaxis; food-related misadventures   Older Child and Adolescent Well appearing? Mallory-Weiss tears after forceful vomiting; trivial hemoptysis after viral symptoms; pill esophagitis in the child is just learning to swallow medications.  Always consider foreign body ingestion. Ill Appearing? Varices from cryptic liver disease; hemorrhagic gastritis; vascular malformation, such as a Dieulafoy lesion, where a tortuous small artery ends just superficial to the gastric mucosa, and can erode through and erupt. Focus: Inflammatory Bowel Disease Approximately a quarter of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) -- both Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn disease – will present by age 20.  Children and adolescents may present with the classic symptoms of IBD: abdominal pain, weight loss, bloody diarrhea, but many present atypically with isolated signs like poor growth, anemia, or delayed puberty. You may also suspect IBD in the child with other extra-intestinal symptoms like oral ulcers, clubbing, erythema nodosum, jaundice, or hepatomegaly. On history and physical examination, you may get one of three cardinal presentations Fatigue, history of anemia, in a stable child who comes to the ED with bloody diarrhea Chronic diarrhea, chronic abdominal pain, and poor weight gain or weight loss A fulminant presentation, with severe abdominal pain, frankly bloody stools, tenesmus, fever, leukocytosis, and hypoalbuminemia. On exam, look for general appearance, glossitis from B2 deficiency, hair loss and brittle nails form protein loss, purpura (from vitamin C and vitamin K deficiencies).  Look for evidence of episcleritis or uveitis.  Listen for rubs as in pericarditis.  Do a good abdominal exam, especially looking for hepatomegaly. Perirectal skin tags are not uncommon. Children with IBD may form urinary calculi form oxalate crystal deposition. Do a thorough skin and neurologic exam. Treatment for both ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease is similar. Induction therapy: children with mild disease get aminosalicylates; those with moderate disease get steroids; and those with severe disease get cyclosporine. Maintenance regimens to prevent relapse include aminosalicylates, mercaptopurine, and azathioprine. Surgical treatments for refractory colitis include an ileal pouch and anal anastomosis – also called a J pouch, a type of neorectum created surgically by folding loops of ileum back on themselves and stitching them together to create a larger rectal reservoir where the rectum once was.  A neorectum allows the child to have voluntary control of his stools again. Stabilizing the Pediatric GI Bleed Life-threatening GI bleeding in children is, thankfully, rare, but we have to be prepared. Give blood for compensated shock, prepare for massive transfusion if giving more than 40 mL/kg total blood products. Differing Etiologies: adults and children The reasons for upper GI bleed in adults are vastly different from those of children.  In adults, mostly the life-threats are due to liver disease, varices, or hemorrhagic gastritis. In children, critical upper GI bleed is often secondary to critical illness (hemorrhagic gastritis or stress ulcer), or vascular malformation.  Critical lower gastrointestinal bleeding may be from Meckel's diverticulum or other congenital angiodysplasia. Endoscopy Get your patient urgent endoscopy as soon as possible after arrival if there is active bleeding. Otherwise, according to the Belgian guidelines, stable children may have endoscopy within the first 24 hours of hospitalization. The reported efficacy of endoscopy for controlling upper GI bleeding in children is approximately 90%. Miscellaneous Nasogastric tube? No routine role (unreliable to rule out or stratify upper GI bleed). Proton pump inhibitor? No good data, but no major common contraindications. Octreotide, vasopressin, broad-spectrum antibiotics?  May use adult data to extrapolate in the proper etiologic context. General Advice for the Brisk GI Bleed in Children This is a rare, but potentially life threatening situation, so anticipate how the child can decline, and get your team assembled: your pediatric intensivist, gastroenterologist, and surgeon – especially if we can’t ge the upper GI bleed to abate with endoscopy. The sooner you activate the team, the better. Summary The broad differential diagnosis may be paralyzing, and frustrating, since much of it we cannot discern in the ED. Consider actionable, high-yield etiologies based on age and appearance. Neonates Well appearing?  Think rectal fissure, maternal blood, or allergic proctocolitis Ill appearing?  Think necrotizing enterocolitis, malrotation, or an inherited coagulaopathy. Infants, and Young Children Well appearing? Think infectious colitis and gastritis. Ill appearing? Think intussusception and Meckel’s diverticulum. Older Children and Adolescents Well appearing?  Think Mallory Weiss tear from vomiting, or gastritis Ill appearing?  Think metabolic, cryptic liver disease, or inflammatory bowel disease. For everyone – a careful history and a good physical exam will point you tto the etiology, or risk-stratify for further outpatient evaluation and management.
