Un-Parented
Welcome to 'Un-Parented,' where the untold stories of the foster care system come to light. I'm your host, Mona Rene, with over two decades of experience in the Child welfare. I've seen the inner workings, the successes, but more often, the hidden struggles of a system that may do more harm than good. Each week, we'll dive deep into the raw and uncensored stories from my personal experiences, as well as candid conversations with former foster care children and fellow workers.
