As someone who spent time in foster care as a child, the plight of our nation’s children who find themselves detached and unsettled outside their biological families is of great concern to me.
In fact, according to the most recent statistics, over 443,000 kids in America today find themselves somewhere in the foster care system. There are names behind that huge number, and every one of them represents a little world that hangs in the balance. Like you, I’m deeply grieved to know that many of them feel as though their future is bleak and hope is in short supply.
