At four years old, Sheena Wood was told that she had to make herself “adoptable.”

She had medical challenges with her eyesight, feeling lost and alone as she navigated the journey of foster care, moving from foster home to foster home throughout her early childhood. She felt rejected and didn’t know if anyone would want her or if she would be able to find a place to belong.

Today, Sheena is a mother of five, married to her college sweetheart, and serves in a church in Florida along with her husband, Josh.

In this episode, Sheena shares what it was like to experience foster care, how well-intentioned advice can go wrong, why our words matter as caregivers to children who have experienced trauma, and why “Amazing Grace” helped her feel truly seen.
