I wrote the following on a petition I signed about the titled subject. This petition was sponsored by The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption and its' purpose was to create awareness to our policymakers about the plight of the 114,000+ children in foster care who are in danger of not having a loving family by the time they reach age 18 and are forced to leave the system with nothing more than the clothes on their back and whatever assets they accrued on their own.
************************************************************
No child should be without a family. We were created to love and be loved. My cousin and several friends were adopted. Without someone wanting to take them in and having the love for these precious children and someone working on their behalf, who know where they might have be in life. These children, no matter what the age, should not be bounced from foster home to foster home because of age, behavior, or some other determining factor. These children need to know that someone out there loves them enough to take them in, not just into their home, but into their hearts for life.
