Most people don’t mean harm when talking about foster care, children, or families connected to the child welfare system. But the specific words we use matter more than we often realize.

Language has the power to shape how people feel seen, understood, and valued.

So in our latest blog, we explore how becoming more thoughtful about the way we speak can create space for dignity, trust, and genuine connection within the foster care community.
