For today's episode, I am joined by Caitlin Frost. Caitlin and I connected a few years ago online. She is the founder and creator behind the Respite Redefined podcast and blog for foster and adoptive parents. She and her family have fostered, fostered to adopt, and adopted, so she has so much wisdom to share as we discuss getting licensed in one state and then moving to another state, how to know when you are ready to foster or adopt, how to prepare your home, family, and heart, and how to navigate those sometimes tricky visitations with birth families. Caitlin also shares with us her rose and thorn for this week.  Disclaimer: a conversation between two foster moms would not be complete without interruptions from a CASA worker, a kiddo that woke up early from nap, and a dog that wouldn't sit still....bear with us if you hear anything in the background! #reallife You can find Caitlin on Instagram under @lifewiththefrosts or you can follow along on her book Instagram @caitlinreadsabook. (Seriously, friend, Caitlin has THE BEST book recommendations I am always snapping pics of the covers she posts!)  As always, you can connect with me through the Millennial Foster Mom podcast Instagram page or email me @ themillennialfostermompodcast@gmail.com.  Thank you for listening!  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/millennialfostermom/support
