Thank you so much! Many of us have heard of foster homes, but most of us don't know that you can get put in a worst home.

These children have different background and all have experienced trauma due to abuse. Each file is organized in different section detailing the child’s personal information and court orders. It is extremely devastating to read what these children have been through. I have also been working closely with a foster care social…
