Foster Care Reality VS Instant Family Movie

My experience of foster care reality compared with foster family life depicted in the Instant Family movie - thanks to Paramount Pictures Australia supporting this video. Get your copy from digital platforms April 17th, or get the DVD or Blu-ray from May 1st. This hilarious foster care film - based on the true story of Director/Writer Sean Anders & his wife - may inspire & reassure other potential foster parents to consider parenting via foster care or adoption, by showing both positives & negative foster care facts. Foster care movies have never been done this well before.

DESTINY CALLS: My cosy corner of the internet started by a total quirk of fate! I am an Australian single mother by choice who unwittingly dropped into 21st century technology by accidentally launching a family channel www.youtube.com/LuckyFortune8Family which now has over 100K subscribers. BACKGROUND: I had an only child for nearly 9 years before giving birth to 4 more children within 2.5 years. In addition to my own 3 sons and 2 daughters - which include 2 sets of twins - I fostered 20 children over 7 years in 2 states, including twins and sibling groups - before my own boy/girl twins were born. Before being formally, medically retired by the Medical Assessment Tribunal (in March 2014), I worked in child care (4 years), created/delivered professional development level courses in behaviour management philosophies & strategies (3 years), plus worked in public schools (2 years), and the child protection sector (8 years). Whilst I am permanently, medically unable to resume my prior profession, I believe my years of raising children plus working with child clients and their families enables me to provide useful, generalised, lived experience information in YouTube's pre-recorded format. DISCLAIMER: Like anything else you find on the internet, my motherly ADVICE SHOULD NOT BE SUBSTITUTED FOR YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT OR THE GUIDANCE OF PROFESSIONALS WHO KNOW YOUR PERSONAL SITUATION.
