Rob Scheer on Foster Care, Family, and Breaking the Cycle
About this episode
Rob Scheer discusses his experiences in the foster care system and his mission to change perceptions about children in welfare.
Rob Scheer grew up in the foster care system, aging out and experiencing homelessness before eventually becoming a foster and adoptive parent himself. In his book, A Forever Family, and through his nonprofit, Comfort Cases, Rob has made it his mission to change the way we think about children in the welfare system. In this conversation, he reflects on his own experiences on both sides of it. Rob and Andrea also talk about the profound difference one caring adult can make in a child’s life, and why sometimes it only takes one person to help break a cycle. *** Just a note that today’s episode includes mention of suicide.
