May is National Foster Care Month!

Nearly 400,000 children and youth are in Foster Care in the US. This month is a time to raise awareness about the strengths and weaknesses of the care system; the issues faced by children in care or adopted from care or transitioning out of the system; and to celebrate all the children and those who make a meaningful difference in their lives.
