After a childhood in foster homes, Sixto Cancel only found out about the family that would’ve taken him in after he aged out of care. The chief executive officer of Think of Us, a nonprofit focused on foster care, joins host Krys Boyd to talk about the practice of kinship placement and the need for systemic change so that children aren’t kept from loving homes. His recent essay published in The New York Times is headlined “I Will Never Forget That I Could Have Lived With People Who Loved Me.”
