Summary:

Welcome to today's episode, where we dive into the important and often misunderstood topic of refugee and international foster care in Arizona. Misinformation around this issue tends to spread, especially around election seasons, making it hard to separate fact from fiction. Our goal is to shed light on the realities of refugee and international foster care and to offer you practical ways to support those involved.

We're thrilled to welcome two special guests to help us unpack this topic: Erin Pelley and Adan Benitez. Together, we'll explore the unique challenges and inspiring stories within the foster care system for refugee children, as well as the ways community members can provide support and make a lasting impact. Tune in to learn, dispel myths, and discover how you can be a part of positive change.
