MID-SEGMENT GUEST: Robyn Chambers 

Ministry: Focus on the Family

 Part 3 in the 3-Part Wraparound Grandparenting Series

It’s time to recognize the dilemma of foster care in America and realize the support that retirees can offer! According to Retirement Reformation founder Bruce Bruinsma, that’s the first step – awareness. Well, then it’s time to take action! This episode shares so many practical examples of what “wraparound grandparenting” might look like for retirees.

Focus on the Family’s VP of Advocacy for Children, Robyn Chambers, promotes wraparound grandparenting as an easy “on ramp” for Christian seniors to serve in the area of fostering/adoption. Everyone has a gift to give. Here are a few simple support ideas Bruce, Jim, and Robyn discussed:


Mentoring teens that will soon leave the foster care system, teaching them basic life skills and lessons 


Giving foster/adoptive parents a break or night off 


Helping with household tasks like cooking, cleaning, or getting groceries 

More ideas and information can be found in the downloadable Legacy of Love ebook. Robyn also mentions the resource WaitNoMore.org that encourages and equips “family allies” to take a more hands-on support approach.

Bring this idea to your pastor and church family. Let’s show the world how much the Church values children, foster/adoptive families, and retirees. Reformation in the foster care system in this country can start with YOU!
