Irina Castellano is an authorized foster carer who’s dedicated to providing safe homes for vulnerable children, especially now that we have hundreds of kids sitting in motel rooms as we do not have enough safe homes for them to go to.
Her work has been featured in a dozen podcasts, a book, articles, as well as radio interviews like with SBS German Radio and The Meaningful Monday Radio Show. She also runs the nationally accredited Foster Carer Programs and Adoption seminars.
Using her over twenty years of experience, Irina provides awareness and education around all aspects of fostering. She offers professional one-on-one support, training and guidance to all potential foster carers and hopeful adoptive parents.
She is on a mission to find more carers and to work with IVF clinics and their unsuccessful clients, to create families.
Along with her husband and three children, Irina has provided a home to over seventy-five children. Her upcoming memoir will cover her life as an expat in 8 countries, as well as her honest account of her foster and adoptive journey.
