Peter Kaye speaks with Jamie Finn of Foster the Family about the need for foster parents and individuals supporting foster parents locally. Finn draws on her own experience as a foster parent of 10 years to give a real life look at what foster parenting is and is not. She emphasizes the goal of foster parenting is to reunite the child with their biological parents and how painful this can be even in the best of circumstances. Finn speaks to the many ways that someone who doesn’t feel that foster parenting is for them can still play an important role by assisting foster parents in simple, effective ways.
