ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Christie Erwin is the Executive Director of Project Zero, an organization with a bold mission: Zero. Noun. The number of children that should be waiting in foster care to be adopted.
If that sounds familiar, it’s because I’ve been wearing their gray T-shirt for years. And when you’ve helped more than 1,600 children find a permanent family, you’ve earned the right to talk about getting closer to zero.
In this episode, Christie shares how Project Zero is transforming the way children waiting for adoption are seen, advocated for, and ultimately connected to families. We talk about strategy, urgency, and what it really takes to move from hundreds waiting to numbers that once felt impossible.
Because zero is not just a word. It’s a commitment.
