We know that reunification is the goal but Here's the deal though it's not always the answer and the ending of the story. 27% of Foster kids come back into the system, why? I believe it's the failing of the system and the workers behind it. Here's the raw and real moments of Foster parents. Nuggets of truth that aren't glorified. The heartache and downright insane things that we go through. The secondary trauma we experience when we put our entire life on the line to bring kids in our home to keep them safe and protected.

The Broken System Podcast

Our Foster Daughter's Story
This episode was hard for me to sit through and record because for the first time I got to hear Nevaeh's story. This story is what makes her who she is and I'm thankful she is making the best out of her situation. *this story is posted with permission of Nevaeh and after multiple discussions on if she wanted others to know her story.
