Everyone thinks they know what foster parenting is — until they actually live it.

In this episode of What the Foster!, we’re tackling the biggest myths people believe about foster care and shining a light on the truth behind the chaos. From the misconception that foster parents “do it for the money,” to the myth that “you can’t get attached,” I’m breaking down what really happens inside the system, the emotions no one prepares you for, and why the truth is both harder and more beautiful than you expect. Whether you’re a new foster parent, considering fostering, or just curious about what it’s really like, this episode will give you a clearer — and more human — perspective on what it means to open your home and heart. 🎧 In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• The biggest foster care myths that keep good people from fostering
• The realities of working with DCF, case managers, and the system itself
• How attachment, heartbreak, and healing all exist in the same story
• Why imperfection is not a disqualifier — it’s actually your biggest strength

💬 Quote from the show: “They don’t need perfect — they need present.”
