Saying Yes as a Single Woman: Foster Care, Adoption & Multiethnic Families | Joy Bey
What does it look like to say yes to foster care when the journey becomes harder than you expected?In this episode of Fostered in Unity, Greg Helton sits down with Joy Bey, an adoptive mother and associate pastor at Relentless Church, to talk honestly about her journey from considering foster care as a single woman to fostering and eventually adopting two biological siblings.Joy shares why foster parents need more than good intentions—they need a community willing to walk through the long, difficult seasons with them. She also discusses the danger of the “hero” mindset in foster care, honoring a child’s birth family, and why love and safety are not always the same thing.The conversation also explores transracial and multiethnic foster and adoptive families, including the importance of educating yourself, building diverse relationships before placement, asking uncomfortable questions, and being willing to admit what you don’t know.Ultimately, Joy shares what has sustained her through the hardest moments: her yes was never simply to foster care or adoption. Her yes was to God.The Fostered in Unity Podcast is produced in partnership with NC for FAMswww.NCforFAMs.comProduced by:www.Larimoreproductioncompany.comFilmed at Studio Refuge:www.StudioRefuge.comChapters: What Keeps Your Yes on the Table Meet Joy Bey Growing Up Afraid of Foster Care Loss, Legacy, and the Beginning of a Calling Considering Foster Care as a Single Woman Why Foster Parents Need Community Finding Village 127 Not Everyone Is Called to Foster Building Community Before Placement Navigating Foster Care as a Single Woman When Saying Yes Becomes Hard The Foster Care “Hero” Complex Love, Safety, and Birth Families “Our Family Is Bigger” Finding Male Role Models and Community Preparing for a Multiethnic Family Why Good Intentions Aren’t Enough Learning a Child’s Culture Before Placement Race, Identity, and Biracial Children The Blessings and Sanctification of Foster Care Creating Permanency and Legacy What Keeps Joy Saying Yes Why Love Alone Isn’t Enough Closing
