Finding Justice in a Broken Foster Care System

We confront the reality of injustice in foster care and explore how to effectively advocate for change without burning out or losing sight of our purpose. From recognizing that not every battle is ours to fight, to making strategic relationships within the system, these seven practical tips help foster parents navigate the broken parts of the system with wisdom and grace.• Not every injustice is your battle to fight—ask God for discernment about which assignments are yours• Get educated before advocating—understand the reasoning behind policies before fighting to change them• Identify gaps in the system rather than just complaining about what's broken• Advocate with respect instead of rage—your voice carries more weight when delivered with grace• Build relationships with people working in the system to increase your influence• Cover everything in prayer and trust that God sees every injusticeThis is the last episode of the season.
