Fostering Change Podcast | Episode 238 | Randi Thompson

When people think of fostering or adopting, the image that often comes to mind is a cute little baby. But what’s often forgotten are the older children—pre-teens and teens—who are just as in need of love, support, and a forever family.

On this episode of Fostering Change, Rob Scheer welcomes Randi Thompson, co-founder of Kidsave—a remarkable nonprofit helping youth ages 9–17 in foster care and orphanages find meaningful, lasting connections and permanent homes. Randi is truly one of the “Good Humans” we’re honored to feature!

Kidsave offers several incredible programs, including their flagship Weekend Miracles initiative, which connects older youth with families who are considering fostering or adoption. As Kidsave says: “When a child feels like they have someone in their corner, the world opens up to them, and they thrive.”

🎉 Upcoming Kidsave Miracle Galas:

📍 Washington, DC – May 29

📍 Los Angeles – June 7

📍 Houston – June 21

💙 May is National Foster Care Awareness Month! Comfort Cases is celebrating with events, fundraisers, and new weekly episodes every Tuesday in May. The Season 6 finale airs June 3!
