55 children. 12 years. A lifetime of love, and goodbyes. 💙
America needs more foster families. We also need to listen to those who have opened their homes: What would help them feel supported enough to stay?
In Episode 3 of The F Word: America’s Foster Care Crisis, Rob Scheer sits down with Judy Wright to explore the joy, grief, and exhaustion of foster parenting.
Judy and her late husband, John, fostered 55 children, many of them medically fragile infants and toddlers. She shares what she wishes they had known, how repeated goodbyes affected their family, and the lasting connections foster, birth, and adoptive families can build when it’s safe.
Her memoir, Just Hold Her, recounts a 674-day placement caring for a medically fragile infant born without a pancreas.
“It’s not love divided, it’s love in abundance.” — Judy Wright 💛
