Join our panel of four former foster youth to learn what they wished foster parents and others knew about being in foster care.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Tell us the story of your involvement with foster care and the child welfare system.
• What was something that your foster parent(s) did that helped you cope?
• What did your foster parents do that made things harder for you?
• What are some of the myths that you hear about kids in foster care?
• If listeners are considering becoming foster parents, what should they consider to help them decide if they are the right fit to be foster parents?
