Fostering Love and Hope

"And then I became the invisible disposable kid that my community
expected me to be.” 



After a childhood filled with violence and abuse, Rob Scheer
ended up in foster care. He moved through the system with his
belongings in a trash bag. The foster care system was a constant
reminder of the foster parents who gave up on him, and the birth
parents he missed -- despite the abuse. In this special episode,
Rob takes us through his journey from foster child to foster
parent, shedding light on a system meant to heal but that
desperately needs repair.
