I wish I knew my baby brother.

I lived in 12 placements while in foster care.

Child welfare reform is so urgent and necessary.

I remember when surviving felt like a chore.

I wish caseworkers were better trained.

I was never involved in family outings.

Leaving foster care was a huge sigh of relief.

Even the past can be healed.

I have a lot of emotional scars.

I was hell-bent on finding a way out.
