Meet Halle

Our blog’s editor and anchor. A storyteller who lived it, she helps our families tell their truth. Halle shapes each story with clarity and power — but the heart always comes straight from the families themselves.

Families impacted by the child welfare system are raising their voices here.

On our blog, parents, relatives, and children tell their stories—of love, struggle, and the fight to prevent foster care.
