Actress Jen Lilley Kicksoff May Foster Care Adoption Month w/ Talent Contest

Jen Lilley is a truly genuine person in that what you see is what you get. She is one of the most caring and compassionate people I have had the please of ever speaking with and not only that, she practices what she preaches.

Lilley, has been a Foster Mother and has adopted one son, while waiting for the adoption to go through with her second son, along with having a biological daughter with her husband, Jason Wayne.

May is National Foster Care Month, which Lilley is partnering with the foundation Project Orphans to establish a neighborhood here in the U.S. to give orphans and children in foster care safe and loving homes. The organization focuses on permanency and adoption. To raise awareness and money for Project Orphans, Jen is launching on May 1st the #VoicesThatGive contest. It is an opportunity to give creators from virtually all walks of life including singers and actors a chance to win the grand prize of $10,000, a walk-on roll on Hallmark Channel's hit series When Hope Calls and much more.

Lilley also launched her new weekly podcast Fostering Hope, which aims to help normalize and support adoptive families of all types, foster ethical practices, and champion for safe, loving families for the children who need them. In each episode, actress Jen has open, honest, informative, funny, and sometimes heartbreaking conversations with the most influential people in the world for foster care and adoption. Jen aspires to encourage people who are currently fostering children AND inspire more people to begin the deeply rewarding fostering journey.

I caught up with Lilley, who top of all of this had the time to record a 1960s style album to be released in 2020 that was influenced by the girl groups of that era.
