Teens Need Families
December 28, 2018
Thousands of teens in foster care are looking for the love, support, and encouragement that families provide throughout their lives—not just until they turn 18.
Older youth who are adopted from foster care are more likely to finish high school, go to college, and be more emotionally secure than their peers who remain in or age out of foster care without a permanent family.
