About this listen
It takes a village to raise a child — but what happens when that village is fractured, overwhelmed, or absent altogether? Debbie Ausburn has spent her life stepping into that gap. A former foster parent, stepparent, and kinship caregiver, she’s helped raise seven children — none biologically her own — while navigating the complex, holy work of building trust where it’s been broken. With a career that spans social work, criminal prosecution, and defending youth-serving organizations as an attorney, Debbie brings rare insight into protecting and parenting vulnerable children. She graduated magna cum laude with a JD in Law and has argued twice before the Supreme Court, but her most sacred work happens at home. As the world changes, the question remains: How do we care for children in chaos while staying anchored in tried-and-true divine principles? This episode dives into that question with honesty, grace, and hard-earned wisdom. Learn more about Debbie’s work — and explore resources for caregivers and families — at RaisingOtherPeoplesChildren.blog.
