Finding families with South Dakota Kids Belong

South Dakota Kids Belong

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

South Dakota has more than 1,600 kids in foster care. We explore how to get those kids into safe homes with South Dakota Kids Belong.

Kristi Woolsey is associate director of South Dakota Kids Belong, and Jenn Eekhoff is the state WRAP director. They discuss what makes a good foster family, how to best support foster parents and what the role of a foster family is to the birth family.
