It felt like I was thrown to the wolves.

I feel like a lost soul.

The child welfare system worked for me.

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.
