"Who do they go home to? Aging out of the system is a turning point that too often leaves young people without support, stability, or a place to call home. In this heartfelt podcast, we dive into the realities of foster youth aging out—sharing stories of 16- and 17-year-olds on the brink, the heartbreaking gaps in the system, and the urgent need for lasting connections. Through personal experiences, reflections as an adoptee, and firsthand encounters working with youth in shelters, we explore what happens next and how we can do better. Because family isn’t just where you come from—it’s who shows up."
