About Fostering Hope

From the publisher's feed

With limited resources, networks and means, foster children face challenges that so many of us will never have at such a young age. What if, with a podcast, we could educate the public, engage them with our community, and encourage them to become foster parents, so that every child has a home? What if by sharing their stories, we create networks that would never have occurred, and create new connections to potential parents? What if we had a medium to inspire these kids to overcome obstacles and put them on the path towards something great.
