Bridging The Gap Podcast by Child Bridge:
This podcast explores the reality of foster care through true stories told by those who've lived them. Hear from the children who've grown up in the system, the foster and adoptive parents who raise them, the birth parents who fight for them and the experts who devote their lives to helping them heal. Join us on this journey as we delve into the heart-wrenchingly beautiful stories God writes and redeems through foster care.
