Military OneSource

May 3, 2024 | 18:45

Learn about how military families can serve the nearly 400,000 children in the foster care system, how to start the fostering process through state and county agencies with the help of AdoptUSKids and Military OneSource, and the attributes of successful foster families, including flexibility, commitment and dependability, and strong sense of community — all strengths of military families.

Host Bruce Moody speaks with Melinda Kline, national project director for AdoptUSKids.
