@BB_Bombardier @fostertogether Aw, thank you for this! :) I didn't see it until now.

@smrtgrls @ConnectOurKids So love working with @ConnectOurKids to get kids I love in foster care connected to their families. From what I hear from adoptees/former foster youth, the US needs to push harder for these connections.

[Hope Forti @HopeForti]

@familyfinders @smrtgrls @ConnectOurKids I'm glad to know you know @ConnectOurKids, Kevin! I started following you on FB years ago as a CASA, and admire your relentless push for families.

@Dan_Caine @aplusk @ConnectOurKids Agree-they are remarkable people. Tons of integrity.

@chrissiegoo @aplusk Thank you for donating to Connect Our Kids! The people running it are the real deal--sacrificing much to get this tool made.

[Hope Forti @HopeForti]

@aplusk I am a foster mom, and I fostered one little boy whose mom was in 80 foster homes herself. At age 20, she found an aunt who told her that no one alerted her that her niece was in foster care. I hate that one missed connection caused so much pain. I love @ConnectOurKids !

@heidiganahl @KyleForti So thankful for you. 27 year-old you, current you, and all of you in between!

@wtylersandberg @BenteBirkeland Thank you for being part of it, Tyler and Kelsie. <3

@Mr_SandyTeach I just tweeted @PeteButtigieg to increase efforts.

[Hope Forti @HopeForti]

@PeteButtigieg please increase Coast Guard efforts to find Jacob Sandy. He's a friend of a friend.

@NationHahn @jamiehahn May her memory be eternal. I found your story on @ttfapodcast

[Hope Forti @HopeForti]

@ValarieJ @fosterhood Nope.

@MsTagiTyronce @ReadRiseMag (Emily's aunt has a similarly unjust story to tell.)

[Hope Forti @HopeForti]

@MsTagiTyronce @ReadRiseMag Just found you through this story. Thank you. Let's get that Act. If you are on Instagram, check out @emily_brooks_foundation.

@MollySpray @LadyfingersLP @ForbesWomen They are our neighbors! Good people. Going into their shop feels so classic small town...warm, inviting, they know your name.

My friends @TennysonCenter will host a FB Live show on Oct. 30 at lunchtime called #StandInTheGapCO to talk about how we can fill the gaps in Colorado’s child welfare system.

@GlobalMindEDorg Delightful to sit with you, Carol. Still thinking about Dr. Nita’s point on “othering.”

[Hope Forti @HopeForti]

After you listen, tell me: What makes you rest easier when you send kids home from your foster home? What do you hope for in a reunification? https://t.co/1cs9MGyW71 #fostercare #FamiliesBelongTogether

[Hope Forti @HopeForti]

How do you find your niche, your “thing,” your groove, your expertise, as a foster parent? David and Lynn spent the past 15 years figuring that out. https://t.co/1cs9MGyW71 #fostercare

We lost a good man and #fosterdad last week. Was just about to release his interview when I got the news. Please share your fave quote/idea from Adam, after listening: https://t.co/fwaTzQHLhD
