Episode 6 - Foster Care Objections (Part 2): The Real Talk Continues

In Part 2 of our deep dive into the most common objections to foster care, Jason and Whitney bring humor, truth, and lived experience to the table—literally. From “What if it costs too much?” to “What if the child is a different race than me?” they tackle the fears, the practical barriers, and the misconceptions many people wrestle with when considering foster care.

This episode is honest and real, covering topics like:

• Financial and emotional cost

• Partner disagreements

• Connecting with kids

• Lack of energy, time, or support

• The brokenness of “the system”

• Interracial foster/adoptive families

• Fear of regret

• And the belief that it “takes a special person”

You’ll laugh, maybe tear up, and definitely walk away more equipped and encouraged to say yes to God’s calling—whatever that may be.

📍 Action Steps This Week:

• Pray boldly: “God, if You’re calling me, I’ll say yes—even if I’m scared.”

• Reach out to someone who fosters.

• Attend a local info session.

• Support a foster family near you (even dinner or a yard cleanup goes a long way).
