We use the same math, handwriting, and reading curriculum for our children too!

I dated a foster mom……I got the hell outta there man!

Meeting the needs of our two completely different kids is why decided to homeschool back in 2022. I’m so glad we didn’t continue with public education because homeschooling has allowed both to thrive.

My 6 year old son has absolutely hated writing, coloring, drawing, and anything art that wasn’t Lego or PlayDough until just recently. Reading, math, science, etc he’s flying through! I related to this video so much, thank you! I am also trying to be more mindful about finding unique creative ways to incorporate more coloring, drawing, cutting into our weeks.

This is so helpful for me - I needed this. Thank you!

@JasonAshford-mi7jc Look in the mirror when you start calling names! That's not at all what she said and you clearly have no idea what happened here

LOVE THIS CURRICULUM!!! We have already filled in a few gaps with my kindergarten/ first grader. He was going to be held back for math but now I can keep moving him along as we were doing the program through the summer. It’s such an amazing feeling to see your child finally click! ❤

My son doesn’t like art either outside of putting stickers on craft paper, we are currently doing pre-k we alternate handwriting practice one day and cutting practice book on the next 😊

I Love Studies Weekly!!!!

I love my neighborhood Buy Nothing Group for “special”toys. They’re often things we would never buy ourselves because the kiddo would get bored easily, but putting it out for half an hour once a week while I’m cooking or cleaning? Suddenly the most fun ever.

You are back!🎉

I got this to use this year for my 2nd grader, but for GA. Same plan to utilize the library for additional resources for the weekly topic 😊.

Where is that adorable wooden calendar from?

Great video! Can you please link those handwriting sheets from TpT? They look awesome!😊

What type of skills does the child need to have to start the program?

There was a 10% off sale on all about learning website from June 11, 2024 to June 25, 2024

So glad to see you have posted again. I look foward to your future videos and i miss seeing your children room tours, adoption videos, and future family planning. I so glad to hear your oldest son is doing well.

So helpful!

Looking forward to your videos about what curriculum you use! I’m highly considering homeschooling my 6 year old son. He has ADHD and the public school system may not work out for him. The thought of homeschooling is scary though. If I had a good curriculum and could follow that I think it would be so much better for him.

Hi, I just came across your KZbin. We are considering adopting, and your video is very helpful. Question, In what state are you in?

Can you talk about how often and what types of doctor's appointments were within the first few weeks? And the process of finding qualified chilcare. Can kiddos go to in home sitters?

Can you share the link to the website you mentioned please? Thank you

If you just straight out adopt through foster care, do you get to meet and get to know the kids first? Thank you for the video!

I'm a former foster youth who aged out - and I was in at least 5 placements who were likely wanting to adopt and disrupted the placement once they found out that I didn't want to be adopted and still was maintaining a relationship with my disabled mom despite her parental rights being terminated. Reunification is not always possible. My mom couldn't care for herself. My dad was deceased. Moving me to my dad's family out of state meant moving me away from where my mom was, so I didn't want to do that. I really think there needs to be separation between adoption and fostering since this really messed up my life. Foster parents get next to no information before accepting a placement and assumed I would be potentially adoptable since parental rights were terminated but they never were told the whole situation, I was moved and they figured out they didn't want to adopt me and I got moved again. This resulted in me changing schools 5 times. I would end foster to adopt if it was up to me. There's too many foster parents trying to cherry pick kids with less issues and end up messing up the lives of the kids who they don't want to adopt by disrupting the placement.

❤Bless you

So you’re opposed to families be chosen by merit, and you prefer first come first serve. Trash.

Oh my goodness this makes me feel like every parent should have this interview before becoming a parent. Foster or not. It’s so important.

Does it matter if you have debt? I want to foster but I have some debt as well. I make enough to afford my apartment and have good credit. But I’m wondering if they will take have debt into account.

Just found you and not sure if you post anymore. But I love the videos and they are so helpful!

I've just seen 20 or so of your videos, and I have to say🎉 I love them❤ you are too the point, straightforward, knowledgeable, and informative, which is wonderful, thank you! 😊 how you are well.

Hi Autumn! I don't know if you'll see this comment since it has been a few years since you posted, but I was wondering if you could talk about dating while being a foster mom. I know that's personal so no worries if not. It's just the biggest kickback I get from people--that I'll make it enormously difficult to get married if I start fostering while single. Thanks!

In the adoption process now and been looking for videos going into detail but never could find any. Thank you! #Foster/Adopt Mom

Hate autumn can you get a backpack for me?

Thank you so much for this! I feel like your video was sent to me by angels🥺 I am 23, single, and i nanny part time & run a business. I have had a heart for children since i was 16 and always knew i wanted to be a foster parent. You made it feel like it’s possible for me. I’m working on moving out of my parents by the end of this year. And hopefully another year after i’ll be ready to bring a beautiful foster baby home🤍 My main concern is finances though and figuring out how much extra i need to have saved to make sure everything is covered.

R u Canadian?

Not I like you ❤❤

I always send my daughter With a comfort toy Because of her autism so I don't usually need to pack her special toy and her backpack be shown already have it but I do Like to pack a blanket and a fidget toy because of stress Or maybe she needs it to nap or something like that

This was the most informative video i have seen. Great job on the information!

Extremely helpful thank you so much!! We were recently involved in a Kinship care situation for siblings and gosh we learned a ton in about a 2 week time period- wow was it ever eye opening!! What you say here is so true and informative as well so thank you again for sharing! 🙏🏼❤️

Tysm!!

I missed you so much! Congratulations!

I hope you donate all the money you are making from this channel back to Culturally Fluent Families or Transracial Adoption Perspectives. The content is good, but you really need to give credit where credit is due. Be sure to point to the people and organizations who actually ARE experts on these topics.

Someone that lives in my area posted in one of my Foster FB groups that she waited 7 months for a placement. I have to say that I am going to be sad if it takes that long.

Hey Autumn just chilin watching your videos. I wanted to tell you that your hair is GORGEOUS! And thank you for the videos

Did you get all this stuff prior to getting your first placement? I know this is an older video but im curious. I am in the process of getting licensed and I feel like it’s quickly coming to an end so Ive been picking up things with my excitement but at the same time I have to keep reminding myself that I dont know the age of my first placement so I need to chill out haha I keep seeing all these really great things at a great price on places like fb marketplace and I feel like they’re passing me up lol

Hello do you have to foster before you adopt or can you adopt in the foster system without fostering first?

Very helpful, thanks.

Love your videos. We are starting the fostering process and wondering how you managed getting a call for an infant, making preparations and working full time? I know this a long question but this is one of my big concerns on how to navigate. Thank you ❤️

So cute
