This was a very special interview, as Doyle isn’t just a great conversationalist, he affirms the stories he chooses to profile on his show. A very warm and supportive interview.

Description
There is a kind of love that asks you to give yourself completely to something that is not yet given to you. Foster parents know this love. It is patient in a way most love does not have to be. It is brave in a way most love never has to be asked to be. And it does not make headlines — it just keeps showing up in the dark, in the kitchen, at three in the morning, holding a small person and refusing to let the uncertainty in the room become the uncertainty in the embrace.
That is the love Lane Igoudin has lived.
In this episode, Lane and I talk about what it really means to parent through uncertainty, the moment that almost broke him, what he has learned about loving children whose future is decided by strangers on a timeline you do not control, and why he believes the foster system as it stands does not serve the kids it claims to protect.
He will tell you he is not a hero. I will let you decide that for yourself.
Find Lane and his book A Family, Maybe.
Now go make a story worth telling. Goodnight.
Thank you for listening.
