    Surviving the Machine: Welcome to Connecting with Youth

    In this episode I am sharing the breakout session I recorded at a Foster Care/Adoption summit back in November of 2025. In this breakout I speak on how you can connect with youth in foster care and how I was able to be successful in it and provide the tools to help you succeed as well. My name is LaMar Alcorn and As a veteran of the foster care system I take you on my journey as a single foster parent 7 years in counting. The ups and downs and highs and lows and how I’m continuing to survive the machine of it.  Follow my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/j.hologramtobb?igsh=MXY1eGtkZjhxdHRvZA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Facebook links:  https://www.facebook.com/lamar.breakthemold https://www.facebook.com/share/17F63s9xwM/?mibextid=wwXIfr
