    Hello, I worked with you a couple years ago as a cps worker. I dropped three kiddos to you. And just wanted to say that I always thought you cared a lot and made an effort to connect with them

    I’m glad you’re still going to keep your foster care license. I’m sorry it’s been tough for you lately with life transitions. The kids are getting so big. I’m not around too much with my own foster household. I think I can guess where John is and I’m sorry. You’re amazing at putting yourself out there to help other foster parents. Keep up the great work!

      @@erikarossman174she’s made the switch in recent videos from “we’re fostering” to “I’m fostering”.. there are conclusions you could jump to about if they’re still together but I think it’s also good to give them their space until they are comfortable talking about it publically

      Where are the clues? I haven't kept up to date. I was shocked when she said "I" instead of "we." But I have no guesses to where John would go.

    I’d love to hear from a newly graduated newly employed social worker, then a social worker who has been in the business for 20+ years. I can imagine the difference… hope, joy, etc…to ‘just getting through the day’

    I’d love if you can talk about what steps you take for safety for your young kids while there are foster kids in the home, especially while they’re new and you’re still getting to know them.

    I would love to hear from a social worker at CPS who is active with foster youth in the first moments of care! Another great one would be someone who works at a group home for teens! I’d love to hear about changes they want to see!

    As a social work student (in Canada, so it's not the same system, but still), I think it would be helpful to learn what a case worker has to share. Or a primary parent if you know any who would feel comfortable sharing (no pressure, though!). And, as always, I'd love updates on Ariana (weird not to call her Miss A lol) when there are updates that she feels comfortable sharing (again, no pressure! But she did make her way into many of our hearts and we are cheering her on always).

    I think many have misconceptions as to what fostering can be to those receiving care. they are still kids and aren’t perfect and are going thru a lot and often don’t have the greatest foundation of skills coming into care. It can cause harm by people wanting to foster thinking the kids will just be grateful etc.
