AFCCA Parent Liaison
Jenn Drudge
Jenn (she/her) is a parent of six children and teens. From rural South-Western Ontario and has a background in social work. She and her husband became concurrent foster parents over ten years ago after having two biological children. They have fostered over a dozen babies and toddlers, adopted three olders from the public system, and adopted their youngest through kinship care. Four of her kids are Indigenous (Cree, Ojibwe and Metis). She is passionate about supporting the Indigenous community and developing an anti-racism framework in her community. Through personal experience, Jenn is deeply acquainted with the challenges faced by families affected by FASD, Developmental Trauma, Attachment Disorder and Anxiety. After years of fostering, she is keenly aware of the emotions felt by those who have experienced permanency break-down and adoption loss. Jenn is excited to help connect other adoptive parents with the support they need.
