Research & Resources Edition: The Reel Hope Project with Abby Marino
Welcome to FASD Family Life, the podcast for families by families where we get real about raising children and youth with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. I’m your host, Robbie Seale, FASD Educator, advocate and mom of five children; four of whom I adopted through foster care and each one was prenatally exposed to alcohol. I know the struggle is real, but so is success. Whether this is your first episode, or your 75th, I invite you to settle in and join me for a cup of coffee as we discover how we can change the chaos to calm, reduce stress and have hope for our loved ones with FASD.
Research & Resource Editions of the FASD Family Life podcast are designed to give you information on a variety of FASD networks, resources, training events, and conferences, as well as fascinating FASD studies for your participation and interest.

In this Research & Resources Edition of FASD Family Life Research & Resources edition I am delighted to speak with Abby Marino of The Reel Hope Project. With a heart for non-profit narratives specific to vulnerable populations, Abby loves supporting the vision of foster care youth finding their forever families. She oversees operating procedures at The Reel Hope Project and appreciates the full circle of her role in coordinating shoot days with dedicated social workers and ultimately connecting prospective families to begin the adoption licensing process. Abby initiates big picture outreach and expansion opportunities for the organization, and works closely with each new state lead as the mission grows beyond Minnesota.
The Reel Hope Project's mission is a forever family for every child, our goal is to make a video for every kid in our state who is awaiting adoption.
Their vision is to mobilize the faith community to bring foster kids into forever families. We strive to be a bridge between church and state, partnering on both sides to see an end to kids waiting for families. We work to equip social workers with an invaluable tool to share their kids’ stories, and we empower families to meet waiting kids.
