In this episode of Unprofessional Parenting, we’re pulling back the curtain on the things we wish someone had told us before jumping into the world of foster care. From the unexpected emotional toll to the unspoken rules of the system, we’re sharing the lessons we learned the hard way—so you don’t have to. Whether you’re considering fostering, just getting started, or deep in the trenches, this episode is packed with real talk, raw moments, and practical advice to help you navigate the journey with a little more clarity (and a lot more grace).
