If you missed season 1, watch here: The F Word follows the heartwarming story of one queer couple fostering a child in Oakland, CA. Nicole and Kristan explore the more unknown side of Foster Care: how large amounts of money are spent to support Foster and Adoptive families, yet little money is spent to support the birth parents of kids in the system. Reunification is the goal of foster care, but when we spend more money to help foster parents than we do to support birth parents, is reunification really the goal?
