Welcome: Welcome to Fostering the Future podcast. A show about all things child welfare, dependency, adoption and foster care. Your hosts, Jack & Cat are veterans in the world of child welfare and excited to spend a little time each week chatting about how we can all do something to help kids in care.

We believe that every human has incredible and equal value, regardless of what side of the courtroom we sit on. We hope that everyone feels welcome and accepted here on Fostering the Future.
