We’ve all heard it—or said it ourselves: “All these kids need is love.” But what happens when love meets trauma, defiance, grief, or survival-mode behavior?

In this heart-hitting and hope-filled session, Peter Mutabazi shares from his experience as a former street kid, now a single foster and adoptive dad to dozens. He challenges the myth that love alone is enough—and instead unpacks what foster kids really need: structure, consistency, safety, empathy, and someone who sees beyond the behavior.

Through stories, practical strategies, and powerful truth-telling, Peter equips foster parents to move from simply “loving hard” to parenting wisely and intentionally. You’ll walk away encouraged, better equipped, and reminded that while love matters, healing takes more—and you’re part of the answer.
