Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Tonight, I wanted to talk about some of the things that a foster parent should think about teaching a child while caring for them. My parents have taught my foster siblings a lot, and I think that it has been really beneficial for the kids.

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Do you know what happens when you ask a question? You get some amazing answers, especially when the question is addressed to your mom. Tonight, for example, I asked my mom for blog post ideas, and I ended up finding out about something that I never knew about before. I thought I would share that information here tonight.

Last Day of School in NY

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Alright, who's ready to admit that they're tired? Come on, you know you're all exhausted... I'm so ready to pass out in bed that writing tonight feels like a major accomplishment. I don't just mean 'it's bedtime' tired either; I mean more along the lines of exhaustion from the school year coming to an end, summer beginning, and feeling like a weight has been lifted from your shoulders somewhat. Although I'm sure for most parents, as much as you love having your kids home for the summer, you're even more exhausted just thinking about how to keep them from yelling about how bored they are every five minutes. Yeah, now you're all even more tired, aren't ya?

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Have you adopted children? I think I've made it pretty clear that all of my siblings are adopted, but each adoption was so different from all of the others. I'm sure anyone else who has adopted children could share a different experience as well.

    About

    Picture
    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
