hi Jamie! I really like your podcast. I have always wanted to become a foster/adoptive mom and your podcast is giving me a lot of information and what's more important answers. There is one problem I am still struggling with. Everyone on the podcast, including you, are religious, which is fine but I am not. Is there anyway you can interview a few foster parents, or single moms that are not religious? how do they cope with hard times and situations since "we" don't pray or turn to Jesus for answers. thank you for your show! also could you ask your guests about the money side? since you are taking foster kids and you do have to clothe and feed them. do that have side hustles. are they lucky enough to have a spouse that has a great job. just need a practical episode. again thank you!
