    “We just didn’t know what it means to be a good parent.”

    Where can parents turn when patience runs low and the bank account even lower? HomeFront Productions team Kate McMahon and Cat Wise travel to Eugene, Oregon, to learn about the relief nursery program, which has been helping families on the edge of crisis care for children ages 0-5 since 1976.

    “I'm gonna be better than you think I am.”

    Historically, when a young person with a foster care history becomes a parent, they are subject to more scrutiny by child protective services than their peers who have not spent time in foster care.  We visit Children’s Law Center in Los Angeles, where attorneys and advocates work to ensure young parents don’t lose their children to foster care just because they experienced foster care themselves.

    “It should be about helping them heal.”

    Across the country, there is a growing demand to help more families stay together safely without taking kids into foster care. Join us as we explore the people and programs on the front lines of ensuring foster care is the last resort, not the first step. In this episode, we're looking at an addiction treatment program in Ohio that has helped more than 5,000 parents get sober and keep their kids out of foster care.
