This interview originally aired on "In the Moment" on SDPB Radio.

Jenn and Pete Eekhoff have been fostering in South Dakota for 12 years. They weigh in on what led them to foster and a bit about the process to become licensed in South Dakota.

The South Dakota Department of Social Services Stronger Families Together campaign is seeking 1,200 additional families in the next four years. But even those supporting others need to be supported. The Eekhoffs explain how to best help your local foster families and where foster parents can seek support.
