From Foster to Forever
There are many ways to build your family. Fostering-to-adopt is not the easiest, but it's a beautiful and profoundly impactful thing to do. Join Rachel Fulginiti, a voice actor and two-time foster to adopt mom, as she shares her own story and the stories of others who have successfully navigated the foster care system and landed at adoption.
We explore the complex journey, touching on subjects like welcoming newborns or older children into your home, resiliency through loss and heartbreak, transracial adoption, special needs, co-parenting through a divorce, and more. We also aim to amplify the voices of adult adoptees, who can teach us so much through their lived experience.
If you've ever considered fostering and/or adoption, experienced it first-hand, or are simply curious to learn more, this show is for you.
