Summary
Today, I’m talking with Delaney Burns, who is an agency worker. Delaney grew up in a home where her parents fostered, which solidified her interest in becoming a foster care caseworker. In this episode, she shares openly about the hardest parts of her job, what a day in her life looks like, what she’s been learning through navigating hard situations, and the hope she holds on to through it all.

| 0:09.4 | I've realized like most parents really want to be reunited with their children. |
| 0:15.7 | And no matter what they're facing in their life, no matter what things have happened, they |
| 0:20.2 | still want to be |
| 0:21.1 | reunited. And sometimes trauma and the things that these parents have experienced themselves |
| 0:28.3 | makes it really hard for them to do that. |
