Listen " Ep. 23: Fostering as a Single Parent "
Episode Synopsis
Did you know that you don’t have to be married to foster or adopt children in Utah? It’s true, some of our best foster families are lead by single parents. Local single foster parents, Kristen and Michael share their experiences fostering —what it’s like, why they do it, and how to get started.
According to a report from The Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System, just under 15,000 single women and nearly 2,000 single men adopted children or youth from foster care in 2017.
Check out Single Foster Parent Tips for more ideas on making it work as a single foster parent.
