Should I Take in a Spanish-Speaking Foster Teen With a Baby? - Weekend Wisdom

Drop us some Fan Mail. Thanks!

Question: I was just asked to take on a Spanish-speaking teen with a baby. Do you have any resources to address fostering a teenager with a language barrier, as well as supporting her in developing adult skills and independence? She comes with a complicated history involving immigrating here on her own.
