Fostering Change Podcast | Episode 298 | Peter Mutabazi

As August begins, our Best of Fostering Change series continues with one of Season 7’s most popular and heartfelt conversations.

Rob welcomes back his good friend Peter Mutabazi—author, speaker, foster and adoptive father, and founder of Now I Am Known. Known to many as the “Foster Dad Flipper,” Peter has welcomed more than 40 children into his home and adopted three.

In this powerful conversation, Peter discusses his book, Love Does Not Conquer All, and shares an honest look at foster parenting and the deep commitment required to help children heal from trauma. He reminds us that while love is essential, healing also requires patience, consistency, trust, and the willingness to keep showing up—day after day.

Episode Highlights

Why love alone isn’t enough—and what children in foster care truly need to heal
How practical life skills can help children build confidence and independence
The importance of every child having at least one trusted adult in their corner
Why families should receive support before children enter foster care
Navigating the heartbreak of saying goodbye—and maintaining meaningful relationships afterward

Only four more Best of Fostering Change episodes remain before we launch Season 8 this fall under our new name: Comfort Cases UnPacked. You can expect the same meaningful conversations, inspiring guests, and unwavering commitment to children and families—now entering an exciting new chapter. We can’t wait to share it with you!
