Jessica Bedient: Grief through the Foster care/Adoption Journey

On today's episode, I sit down with Jessica Bedient from Pike Road, Alabama. She is a mom to 9 children (1 biological, 8 from Foster Care to Adoption). She talks about the journey she, along with her husband Ben, have had through the Foster Care to Adoption process. After about 10 years working with the system, Jessica shares about experiencing the many ups, downs and sometimes, public scrutiny that comes from this path of parenting.

The Verse Jessica mentions is from the Bible: Psalm 4:8- "In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe."
