Achieving Permanency for Adolescents in Foster Care

“Some of our most challenging and rewarding clients to represent are adolescents. Not only are they survivors of abuse and/or neglect, but they often bring a multitude of other issues ranging from delinquency to substance abuse to disabilities. In most cases, they are just being maintained in foster care until they can age out at 18 with little preparation or thought for permanency.”
“The population of adolescents in the child welfare system is steadily growing.”
“Our hope is that this book serves as a guide to attorneys and judges whenever they have the privilege of serving this population of youth.” Andrea Khoury, Author
