"There are no kids too far gone."

The Call to Foster

Nov 9 2023 • 32 mins

In honor of National Adoption Month, we spoke to adoptive parent and Southwest Regional Director for the Children's Division, Pam Alston. Pam brings a unique perspective to our podcast as an employee of the Children's Division. Her story is a perfect example of how children might find you and their permanent home through foster care. While this podcast is usually focused on reunification, as that is the first goal when a child enters care, sometimes a child is seeking more than a temporary loving home, and you could be the one to provide it.

If you're considering becoming a foster parent, visit our website dss.mo.gov/cd/foster-care/.
