Juan credits Parents on a Mission training with helping him and his wife foster four sibling children, including his wife's nephew, after they'd been separated. The training arrived at exactly the moment they decided to take them in, teaching them how to parent with love and forgiveness.

So Juan, now talk about how did Parents on a Mission impact you? What's been your journey since you took that training? I think it was in 2015.
Yeah, so around that time. Again, it's just crazy how things align. And I'm always fascinated now looking back, and it's probably because I just turned 50. And so I'm like thinking back like, oh my goodness, that had to happen that had to happen and that had to happen in order for us to be where we're currently at. We were in the process of taking in 4 foster kids and they were all siblings. And so my wife and I were not able to have biological children, but the youngest of these siblings was my wife's nephew, blood nephew. And at first, we were just gonna take that, the relative. But when we went to go visit, 'cause we knew the other siblings, we went to go visit them at the Department of Human Services, and they had already been separated.
