Description
Divided into four sections, “Family,” “Living in the System,” “Who Am I,” and Looking to the Future,” the more than three dozen personal narratives here were written by young people, ages 15 to 20, who have lived in the foster care system. These less often heard voices might provide insight to parents and professionals, and a sense of normalcy and community to adopted adolescents.
