Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
With more than 500,000 children in foster care nationwide, the parents who open their homes to these needy kids play a critical, but often neglected role in our communities. Kojo and his guests discuss what it takes to be a foster parent, and what training and support is available for the job.
Guests
- Cheryl Clarke Director of Foundation Giving at the Freddie Mac Foundation
- Shane Salter Executive Director of CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children) of Washington, D.C.
- Steve Snow Foster parent of two children from Alexandria, Va.
- Mary Kay Snow Foster parent of two children from Alexandria, Va.
