He also does respite foster care with his partner in North Carolina -- meaning when a kid comes into the system with nowhere to go, sometimes they land at Shane's house. It's a commitment, it's not always easy, and he's not here to make it sound like it is.What this conversation gets into is the full picture: the kids who are aging out of the age range that most foster parents are comfortable with, the religious institutions that have stepped in to fill a gap that nobody else showed up for, the queer kids who end up in homes that don't see them, and the systemic failures that make all of it so much harder than it needs to be. If you've ever thought about fostering, or wondered why humanists aren't more present in that space, or just wanted to understand what the foster care system actually looks like from the inside -- this is the episode. The need is urgent, it's everywhere, and most people have no idea how close it already is to them.ABOUT SHANE LUKASShane Lukas (he/him) leads A Great Idea—an award-winning agency delivering digital and print design and content solutions nationwide to grow, empower and activate brand advocates for purpose-driven companies and organizations.
