Welcome to The [Inclusion] Conversation Podcast!
It’s Foster Youth Voices month! We are thrilled about our guest who is a Foster and also a lawyer who advocates for Foster Youth in the system currently so that they have a voice. Today we hear from our host, Grace Yung Foster and our guest, Andrew Bridge, Children's Rights Lawyer, Author NYT Bestseller Hope's Boy and National Bestseller The Child Catcher, Lived Experience Foster Care, and Keynote Speaker. In this episode we explore Foster narratives, belonging, loss, and how our foster care experiences do not define us.
This podcast dives into the world of work, careers, and life for Adoptees, Foster Care Alumni, our allies, parents, child welfare professionals, policy experts, and all within the Adoptee and Foster's orbit.
