In most of our minds, orphanages are viewed as a protector of vulnerable children. This can be true, but often an orphanage can be a deceptive place that is using it’s position and power to serve selfish interests and even harm the children it claims to protect. This is why is so important to understand the warning signs.
Our guest, Rebecca Nhep, is an expert in this field and has even been a part of closing down multiple nefarious orphanages. She is here to share her invaluable knowledge and wisdom and help us all understand the urgency behind reimagining the way we care for vulnerable children. 

How do you view parents who've had to place their kids in foster care? Do you judge them or does your heart break for them? Do you write them off or do you root for them to get their kids back? Whatever your thoughts, our conversation with Vanessa Ramirez will change them. 

Vanessa candidly shares the struggles she has been through that lead to her 4 children entering foster care and how, with the help of some amazing people, she courageously fought to overcome addiction to get them back.

If you’re a foster parent and have ever wondered what your foster child’s parents might be going through, we’d encourage you to listen to this podcast with an open mind and a willingness to learn how you can better help foster children and their families. 

In Episode 10 we interview Bryan and Sherry Lopez from the jewelry company, Lovishly. During this episode we hear how these young parents ended up adopting 3 identical triplet boys with some pretty severe needs...each was born weighing a pound and was smaller than a coke can. After 90 doctor visits in the first few months of having these boys the Lopez family began the adoption process of twins from Uganda. While Bryan was overseas bonding with the twins Sherry received the most shocking news, she was pregnant and her unborn child might now live past birth. Their story doesn't stop there, but to hear more, please check out our episode 10 podcast with Bryan and Sherry Lopez!
