Every year, about 250,000 children enter foster care across the country. INSIGHTS ON PBS HAWAI‘I offers this discussion About Foster Care and Foster Parenting. This episode comes in the wake of the State House’s shelving of a much-anticipated measure that would have increased stipends for foster parents – payments that haven’t changed in more than two decades. The action took place in the closing days of the 2017 legislative session.
