Episode 1: Welcome to Foster Forward — Meet Des & Ellijah
In our very first episode, we’re introducing ourselves — who we are, how we became foster dads, and what inspired us to create Foster Forward.
We share the real story behind our journey into foster care, the challenges we faced, the moments that changed our lives, and what we hope this podcast will mean for foster parents, kinship caregivers, supporters, and anyone walking this path.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
How we became foster dads
Why we decided to start this podcast
What to expect from future episodes
Our mission for Foster Forward
Whether you’re preparing for your first placement, navigating the system, or simply curious about our family — we’re glad you’re here. Let’s foster forward, together.
