“The Stranger Who Saw Me: Beyond Behaviors, Into Belief” - Why Seeing Potential Can Change a Foster Child’s Life—And Yours

9:00am – 10:00am on Friday 9/5
Foster parenting isn’t for the faint of heart. The behaviors are big, the trauma is deep—and yet, every tantrum, shutdown, or meltdown is a cry from a child who has never felt safe enough to just be.

In this deeply moving keynote, Peter Mutabazi shares the story of a stranger who refused to define him by his behavior. Instead, that stranger saw potential. That moment of belief not only saved Peter—it gave him a future.

Now a single foster and adoptive dad to dozens of children, Peter speaks directly to the hearts of foster parents. Through powerful stories and practical insights, he offers a new lens: one that sees past brokenness and into possibility.

Foster parents will leave encouraged, reminded that even on the hardest days, they are planting seeds of dignity, belonging, and hope—just like someone once did for Peter.
