ABOUT Mila

Mila Banfield is a foster parent, mom, author, speaker, and advocate from British Columbia.

​

She has spent years caring for children and supporting families through some of their hardest seasons. Her experience has given her a deep understanding of the emotional weight foster parents carry, the appointments, the transitions, the advocacy, the grief, the uncertainty, and the love that continues through it all.

​

Mila does not write or speak as an expert standing at a distance. She speaks as someone who has lived the long days, the tender moments, the complicated goodbyes, and the quiet decisions to keep going.

​

Her heart is for the caregiver who wonders if they are doing enough.

​

Through her book, speaking, and advocacy, Mila hopes to offer practical encouragement, honest reflection, and a sense of companionship to those walking the foster care journey.

​​​

Her message is simple:​​

You are not alone.
Your work matters.
And you do not need to be perfect to make a difference.
