Melissa Unfiltered
Melissa Unfiltered - a podcast where nothing is off limits. As a Mom with three adopted kids, I dive into foster care system failures, realities of Mom life, homeschooling, sexual abuse cover ups, domestic violence and any issues that get me fired up each week.
My perspective is unfiltered, fearless, and usually different from the mainstream narrative.
Join me as I question and expose our cultures “accepted” truths, shine a light on the uncomfortable, and explore topics through a lens that’s without boundaries and uniquely mine.

Why I Stayed Quiet About the Foster Care System…Until Now
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I stayed quiet for years about what I saw in the foster care system… until now.
This is the story I was afraid to tell - until now.
In this first episode of Melissa Unfiltered, I share the real story behind why I started this podcast - from adopting three children through foster care to the fear, silence, and frustration that came with it.
If you’re a parent, considering adoption, involved in foster care, or someone who knows something isn’t right but can’t quite put it into words…this conversation is for you.
I stayed quiet for a long time.
Not anymore.
👉 In this episode, we talk about:
The reality of adopting through foster care
What the system looks like behind closed doors
The fear that keeps people silent
Why I’m speaking out now
What no one is saying about kids, families, and the system
