Fostering-to-adopt is not the easiest, but it's a beautiful and profoundly impactful thing to do. Join Rachel Fulginiti, creative multi-hyphenate and two-time foster to adopt mom, as she shares her own story and the stories of others who have successfully navigated the foster care system and created their forever families through adoption. We explore the complex journey, touching on subjects like welcoming newborns or older children into your home, resiliency through loss and heartbreak, transracial adoption, special needs, co-parenting through a divorce, and more. We also amplify the voices of adult adoptees, who can teach us so much through their lived experience. If you've ever considered fostering and/or adoption, experienced it first-hand, or are simply curious to learn more, this show is for you. ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/from-foster-to-forever-6781182 Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/from-foster-to-forever-6781182.md ## Episodes - [An LGBTQ Dad’s Journey Through Trauma, Adoption & Unconditional Love with Ron Platt](https://stenobird.com/podcast/from-foster-to-forever-6781182/an-lgbtq-dad-s-journey-through-trauma-adoption-unconditional-love-with-ron-platt) — 2026-05-14T20:00:00+00:00 - [Called To Foster: An Honest Guide with Jen Lilley and Dr. John DeGarmo](https://stenobird.com/podcast/from-foster-to-forever-6781182/called-to-foster-an-honest-guide-with-jen-lilley-and-dr-john-degarmo) — 2026-04-29T18:30:00+00:00 - [Birth Order: How It Affects Fostering and Adopting with Dr. Robert Hurst](https://stenobird.com/podcast/from-foster-to-forever-6781182/birth-order-how-it-affects-fostering-and-adopting-with-dr-robert-hurst) — 2026-04-23T17:45:00+00:00 - [Why Foster Kids Struggle with Food, ADHD & Addiction (Root Causes with Kamy Moussavi)](https://stenobird.com/podcast/from-foster-to-forever-6781182/why-foster-kids-struggle-with-food-adhd-addiction-root-causes-with-kamy-moussavi) — 2026-04-15T18:00:00+00:00 - [Money, Foster Care & the Real Cost of Growing Your Family (with Dylan Snowden)](https://stenobird.com/podcast/from-foster-to-forever-6781182/money-foster-care-the-real-cost-of-growing-your-family-with-dylan-snowden) — 2026-04-07T18:00:00+00:00 - [Single Mom by Choice While Fostering - Life update with Maryanne Grant](https://stenobird.com/podcast/from-foster-to-forever-6781182/single-mom-by-choice-while-fostering-life-update-with-maryanne-grant) — 2026-04-02T05:30:00+00:00 - [Play Therapy, Trauma & Healing: What Foster & Adoptive Parents Need to Know](https://stenobird.com/podcast/from-foster-to-forever-6781182/play-therapy-trauma-healing-what-foster-adoptive-parents-need-to-know) — 2026-03-24T13:00:00+00:00 - [21 Kids Later: The Truth About Foster Care, Loss, and Adoption](https://stenobird.com/podcast/from-foster-to-forever-6781182/21-kids-later-the-truth-about-foster-care-loss-and-adoption) — 2026-03-17T14:15:00+00:00 - [Dyslexia Isn’t a Reading Problem: What Every Parent Should Know with Russell Van Brocklen](https://stenobird.com/podcast/from-foster-to-forever-6781182/dyslexia-isn-t-a-reading-problem-what-every-parent-should-know-with-russell-van-brocklen) — 2026-03-10T15:00:00+00:00 - [Healing, Hope, and Holistic Care: Supporting Adopted Children with Dr. Aaron Hartman](https://stenobird.com/podcast/from-foster-to-forever-6781182/healing-hope-and-holistic-care-supporting-adopted-children-with-dr-aaron-hartman) — 2026-02-18T19:15:00+00:00 - [EMDR and Play Therapy with Trauma Expert Jenny Hornby](https://stenobird.com/podcast/from-foster-to-forever-6781182/emdr-and-play-therapy-with-trauma-expert-jenny-hornby) — 2026-02-10T14:15:00+00:00 - [Adoption Adventures: Finding Our Family through Fostering](https://stenobird.com/podcast/from-foster-to-forever-6781182/adoption-adventures-finding-our-family-through-fostering) — 2026-02-03T16:15:00+00:00 - [Foster Care Reality: Trauma, Love & Burnout with Emily Ellet](https://stenobird.com/podcast/from-foster-to-forever-6781182/foster-care-reality-trauma-love-burnout-with-emily-ellet) — 2026-01-27T14:30:00+00:00 - [Embracing the Unexpected in Foster Care with Nikki Zakocs](https://stenobird.com/podcast/from-foster-to-forever-6781182/embracing-the-unexpected-in-foster-care-with-nikki-zakocs) — 2026-01-20T13:00:00+00:00 - [The Cosmic Library: Akashic Records for Family and Personal Guidance](https://stenobird.com/podcast/from-foster-to-forever-6781182/the-cosmic-library-akashic-records-for-family-and-personal-guidance) — 2026-01-13T13:00:00+00:00 - [From Heartbreak to Hope: Martha's Foster and Adoption Stories](https://stenobird.com/podcast/from-foster-to-forever-6781182/from-heartbreak-to-hope-martha-s-foster-and-adoption-stories) — 2026-01-06T13:00:00+00:00 - [Adopting Six Kids: Buckle Up with Bonnie Johnston Butler](https://stenobird.com/podcast/from-foster-to-forever-6781182/adopting-six-kids-buckle-up-with-bonnie-johnston-butler) — 2025-12-30T16:15:00+00:00 - [Growing Up in Foster Care, Trauma Recovery, and Finding Hope with Mary Fields](https://stenobird.com/podcast/from-foster-to-forever-6781182/growing-up-in-foster-care-trauma-recovery-and-finding-hope-with-mary-fields) — 2025-12-23T13:00:00+00:00 - [Adopting an Older Child with TEDx Speaker Hilary Crowley](https://stenobird.com/podcast/from-foster-to-forever-6781182/adopting-an-older-child-with-tedx-speaker-hilary-crowley) — 2025-12-16T13:00:00+00:00 - [Hey Fam!
