Episode 13 - Melanie's Story - Raising Three Kids as a Dorm Parent in Taiwan and Germany

My guest today is Melanie Bill, and her family has such a unique story. Melanie and her husband, Jeremy, began life as dorm parents working with troubled teen boys in Florida. She shares what it was like to raise toddlers and then be pregnant while living with teenage boys in a dorm. They then moved their family of five to Taiwan and later Germany to continue their dorm parent journey. Listen in to hear what it is like living, eating, and working with teenagers from all over the world. She also shares how the cultures of Taiwan and Germany are different from the US and how that changes family life. On top of everything else, she shares what it was like being in Germany with her family during the pandemic!
