Nobody Should Believe Me · Inside the Child Welfare System with Dr. Anu Partap Part 2 · 24 Jul 2026 podcast

They really go through their closets, literally, figuratively, for them to get a license to become a foster parent.

There's intensive training.

I think in terms of what motivates people to do it, I don't know other than that they truly have a love and they see the role that they have the means to provide for

and serve families in this way.

And sometimes I know their faith has been a grounding force in why they've considered opening up their homes.

Sometimes it's their hope for receiving a child through adoption.

And sometimes it's that they had some experience with the system in some way.

And so there's these different histories or pathways that I've seen.

Now, no one's going to come up to me and say, well, I'm totally doing this for money.

Like, I'm never going to hear that from somebody.

Right.

So I think that it's such a hard system.

I mean, is that you know what I mean?

Because it's I mean, I think there's a reimbursement for the cost of raising a child and a child who has been someone believes has been abused or neglected seriously enough that they have to be rescued from their home, right?

So you're already receiving a child

who statistically has a lot more health, mental health, emotional health care needs than your neighbor's child is going to have.

And they're living with strangers.

So it is everything about it requires an astronomical amount of love, attention and time compared to raising the ones you started your life with.

The financial, I would never call it an incentive because I think it, let's say there are people out there who think this is an easy way.

Like there's no way they're going to last.
