  • Episode 62: Supporting Youth Aging Out of Orphan Care

    On this episode, we have Kevin and Ashley Wickham share the importance of supporting youth who are aging out of orphan care. It is a sad reality that many children are never adopted out of institutions and welcomed into families. Because of this, many of them have to face life on their own, struggling with adulthood with no family to help them through the journey.
    But there is hope and we have a part to play!
