"My darling, you aren't mine."

Those five words opened one of the most tender, honest, and hopeful conversations we've ever had on this show. Episode 3 of our Athens County Children Services season features poet and foster-adoptive mom Becca Lachman and Athens County Children Services (ACCS) caseworker Laura Schaeffer.

They talk about:

💛 What it means to belong to someone — and to let go

💛 The poem Becca wrote in the middle of fostering a newborn

💛 Why Laura says the families she works with have the hard job — not her

💛 Why our community needs more people willing to open their homes

"If you want to know your community in a new light, to make connections you never would have before — fostering will do that." — Becca
