Wendy, you may have made it through without crying but I didn’t. I was listening to the episode while on a flight home from Denver. The lady next to me probably thought I was nuts.

This episode was amazing!
As I listened to your podcast my eyes filled up with tears. I was already crying after just your first reason, but as you went on I went on. I can identify with ALL of your reasons and find ourselves doing foster care for the same reasons.
As I drove down the road and looked at my two boys in the back seat (both are foster - adopt) I couldn’t help but cry and Thank you two for saying and expressing the feelings that I have.
Please keep up the great work!!!
Thank you!! ~Nicole

Pauk is a walrus? Is that like Joey Sapwood in the M household? One of your reason was that alot of youth age out without being adopted and end up homeless. Funny you should say that as one of your reasons because my unit is working on ways that the court in our region and the case workers can better prepare and set up resources for the youthes that are aging out of care (that where not adopted). It is very sad that teens are not adopted at the rate tha tinfants or younger children are, but I believe we can still help them to be successful adults. One foster child who is very inspiring is Rusty Johnson, check out his website: rustyjohnson.net
