US: Ex-foster Kids Must Stay Strong to Help Those Still in Care (Commentary)

US: Ex-foster Kids Must Stay Strong to Help Those Still in Care (Commentary)
Youth Today – October 09, 2017
In 2006, as a doctoral candidate researching juveniles, I found out about and joined a national organization called Foster Care Alumni of America (FCAA), an organization of adults whose ages range from 18 to 80. Before discovering FCAA, I had no idea foster care advocacy and foster care alumni family existed. Who are they and what do they do? FCAA was established with the assistance of Casey Family Programs (CFP) and their national foster care alumni study. FCAA’s beginning slogan was “Connecting Today, Transforming Tomorrow.” So what does that mean? Two things: advocacy and family.
