I’ve shared previously that I first came to this remarkable organization as a foster-adopt parent in 2014, when my son was two. His teachers met him with joy every day, even when he had long stretches of challenging behaviors and needs. Moreover, they met me with joy every day, even when I was a tired wreck of a human – and had my own challenging behaviors and needs. The community of Mainspring caregivers filled me back up when I felt like I had run out of fuel.
