Weekend Wisdom: Should I Take In a Spanish-Speaking Foster Teen With a Baby?
Question: I was just asked to take on a Spanish-speaking teen with a baby. Do you have any resources to address how to foster a teen with a language barrier, as well as how to support her in developing adult skills and independence? She comes with a complicated history involving immigrating here on her own.
