Ever wondered what daily life really looks like for a foster family? In this episode of Dream Small, Jason and Whitney pull back the curtain and share the organized chaos of their home—where visitors include case managers, therapists, guardians ad litem, and more.
A Foster Home is a busy place - where multiple visitors come into your home. This episode will give you a glimpse of some of the visitors. You’ll hear:
• What a DCS Family Case Manager (FCM) does and why they’re central to every case
• The difference between GALs (Guardians ad Litem) and CASAs and how they advocate for kids
• The juggling act of multiple providers in one home—and how faith sustains families through the overwhelm
• Encouragement for foster parents (and those considering fostering) to show grace to caseworkers
👉 Whether you’re a foster parent, considering the journey, or simply curious about how the system works, this episode offers both practical insight and heartfelt encouragement.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
