Meeting you right where you are on your foster care journey, this is The Forgotten Podcast.

God has really worked through the hardships and the wonderful times in our family with all these extra people.

It really taught me to be more mature and to lead on him. And I've grown so much

through foster care that I would never have without this. Hey, it's Jamie Cabe. Welcome back

to the Forgotten Podcast. It is always a privilege to be with you in this space.

Today is a super special episode.

In fact, it is one of my favorites of all times.

Our guests today are Bristol, who's 13 years old, and Braden, who is 15, along with their

You can read today's show notes, ask us a question, or find helpful resources all at the forgottenpodcast.org.
