The Adoption & Fostering Podcast – Al Coates
All describes his podcast: “I’m privileged that I get to meet a range of interesting and influential people as I go about my life. So, rather than keep that all to myself it seems only fair to spread that joy around. Many parents struggle to get to events for a host of reasons, cost and accessing appropriate childcare being two, so its also a way of sharing knowledge and expertise. We’ve tried to make them interesting and lighthearted if appropriate, I hope you enjoy.”
Fostering Voices Podcast
A podcast devoted to the many voices in foster care and adoption. The host’s personal experiences, as well as many experiences from those in the foster/adopt community. Be entertained, inspired, and possibly get involved in the community yourself.
