Note: Yes this is one of those system sucky articles about the struggles that foster parents face.

Talking Adoption: Fighting with the Foster Care System (Part 1) 

This week, I’m talking with Joanna, a foster mother, about her family’s struggles with the foster care system in the US. Joanna and her husband, Carl, are trying to adopt their foster daughter, Dana. (Because the family is in the midst of a court case with Dana’s biological family, their names and identifying details have been changed.) Joanna’s family attends an evangelical church in the Midwest.

I root for the real parents.
