You never know what you’re in for here.<br /><br />There’s a brief chat about things to say and not to say to foster parents, and the emotional tax and toll on biological parents, foster parents, and children in care.<br /><br />We muse about the new Netflix special “The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez” and remind one another that we all are responsible for really examining the many issues that lead to such a rough case. Let’s all remember that society’s problems are our problems, and passing the buck to someone else just doesn’t cut it.<br /><br />We wrap with a Soapbox about making a difference – even if it’s for just one. Just a typical day on The Chryssy and Heather Show. Go get it, dear ones.","author_name":"Chryssy and Heather"}
