In honor of National Foster Care Month, Tracy Wood has joined us to kickoff a series of episodes on the heart-wrenching, cup-filling, love-inspiring reality of fostering a child with a disability or special health care need.
Having fostered dozens of children, Tracy shares that the secret to a happy child and a successful foster placement is to surround the child and their biological family with a village.

Adjusting the Sails is a podcast hosted by the Paths for Parents and Family to Family programs at the WVU CED aimed to discuss the lives and specific challenges children with special health care needs and other disabilities and their families, caregivers, and service providers face, and how to manage those challenges. The podcast will serve as a platform for all disability-related topics to be discussed and as a mediator between families and caregivers to share their stories and experiences. The podcast will feature guest speakers, panelists, and a variety of program representatives and service providers to offer education and training to the listener.
