This week Tayla is joined by Jessica and Chantal from North American Family Institute of RI to talk about the work their organization does to connect children with foster care families. They talk about the need for foster parents in Rhode Island and dispel some myths about foster care. They also discuss children’s books, reality TV, comedies currently on Hulu. During The Last Chapter they discuss: What is a book that you recommend to someone interested in learning more about foster care?
