Licensed to Love is a warm, mission-driven podcast from the JazzCast Pros Network, created for foster and adoptive parents — both those just beginning their journey and those already caring for children. Founded by Lauri McKnight and Veronica Black, CEO/Executive director and Director of Program and Services at Families Thrive Inc. in Rochester, NY, this show weaves together personal stories, professional insight, and trauma-informed strategies to help build loving, stable homes for children in care.

Through each episode, Lauri and Veronica draw on their deep experience in foster care and adoption — offering clarity on licensing, trauma-responsive parenting, sibling preservation, reunification, and more. It’s not just about navigating the system — it’s about creating belonging.
