Remembering Latonia Rolbiecki
Latonia Rolbiecki, a Minnesota mother of three, died last month at the age of 48. Several years ago, Rolbiecki was the subject of an Imprint series about her fight to adopt her grandson after he was taken into foster care at birth.
Rolbiecki lost that legal battle, and her grandson was adopted by non-relative foster parents. On this week’s episode we reflect back on the series, “Latonia vs. Chisago County,” and what her experience reflects about the child welfare system.
We also talk to Grace Yung Foster, founder and CEO of The Inclusion Initiative, about her organization’s upcoming leadership summit for people who have experienced foster care or adoption.
Grace Yung Foster founded The Inclusion Initiative in 2023. Before that she served as a fundraising consultant and as senior director of development for Vote.org.
