Summary
Today’s guests are some of my favorite people and are no strangers to the call to foster or adopt. Jamey and Sarah McIntosh are TFI Advocates in Chippewa Valley, WI who felt the pull to this work early in their lives (even before they were married!). They have such a big heart for foster care, adoption, and advocacy. I hope you will be inspired by their journey and the lessons they have picked up along the way, how God has shaped them in the waiting periods, and even how they’ve learned to let go of control.

| 0:00.0 | Meeting you right where you are on your foster care journey, this is The Forgotten Podcast. |
| 0:10.2 | So Ethiopia at the time, your youngest child had to be one before you could apply. |
| 0:15.1 | We basically waited until she was one, and then we sent in our paperwork. |
| 0:19.8 | At that time, we were told nine to 12 month |
| 0:22.0 | process, but it ended up being about 22 months that we waited to bring our son Lincoln home. |
| 0:33.2 | Hey, it's Jamie Cabe. Welcome back to the Forgotten Podcast. If you are part of the foster care community, |
| 0:40.0 | passionate about serving or simply interested in learning more, we are here for you. |
| 0:45.7 | Last month, we celebrated 10 years of ministry. 10 years, you guys, it has been an amazing thing |
| 0:53.5 | to look back on what God has done. But even more than |
| 0:56.9 | that, I am so excited for what's to come in the next 10 years. Imagine with me if local churches |
| 1:03.7 | felt confident to care for the foster care community and meet the real physical, emotional, |
| 1:09.3 | and spiritual needs of very real people. |
| 1:12.7 | Imagine if foster care workers did not feel spread thin anymore, that they always had people |
| 1:18.6 | to call on, people they were confident would come through for them. |
| 1:22.9 | Imagine if everyone in the foster care community felt joy, hope, and purpose in Jesus. |
| 1:29.6 | Imagine what it would look like if people everywhere supported the foster care community |
| 1:34.4 | and experienced Jesus together. This month of May is National Foster Care Month, a time to recognize |
| 1:42.6 | the kids, the families, the workers, the foster parents, |
| 1:46.0 | all who have a part in this foster care system. And we want to recognize that we all have a part |
| 1:53.0 | to play in serving them as well. And with this in mind, our team at the Forgotten Initiative is launching |
| 1:58.8 | the Imagine campaign. |
