When my sister read the article that I just published at Focus on the Family, she commented, “I personally never considered how I could help youth aging out of foster care.”
That’s coming from my own sister, who hears me talk about foster care all the time, who has been a dedicated aunt to 13 foster children, and who personally has a heart for adoption.
If she hasn’t thought about transitional age youth, maybe you haven’t either!
The statistics on youth aging out of foster care are grim, but they don’t tell the whole story. There is great work being done to help them succeed, and many are overcoming the odds beautifully.
Here’s the article. I would be honored if you shared it!
