Summary
Jamie shares firsthand accounts from inside Washington’s foster care system, exposing how the “Keeping Families Together Act” has made it nearly impossible to remove children from dangerous homes—even when drugs, neglect, and extreme risk are present. Since the law’s passage, child fatalities and near-fatalities have surged, while state officials deflect, downplay, and silence concerned foster parents.
This is a must-watch conversation for anyone who cares about children, parental rights, foster care reform, and government accountability.

| 0:24.0 | Yes. Oh, my gosh. Washington State is a dumpster fire for so many reasons, you guys, |

| 0:35.2 | And so I've been a foster parent for seven years. I |
| 0:39.0 | primarily was a labor and delivery nurse for most of my career. And that's kind of what led me |
| 0:43.9 | into the foster care system. We take in babies exposed to drugs within utero and some that are |
| 0:50.6 | really medically challenging and high risk. And so that's kind of how I landed in foster care. |
| 0:55.6 | So we have adopted, we've taken care of, you know, |

| 1:10.6 | is that real? Is that a real? |
| 1:12.5 | It is. It is. We're known for our wines. We're very rural. We are also known for Tanya from the |
| 1:20.4 | real world back in the 90s. I don't know if you remember that. Oh my God. Wait, was that like |
