The Decision: Aging out of the Foster Care System 

A former foster child/teen here just recently lost my adopted mom.💔 She passed right before Christmas, she was my world and a huge anchor. Not having any parents is such a deep wound, I feel incredibly loss in a way in the losses. 😢😔😢 These stories are moving, it’s certainly not easy after aging out let alone, being in the system especially without so much support and care. Not having a foundation of family.

There should be a housing program they can afford with minimim wage

These kids are stronger than most adults. It’s because they have to be. I wish Diamond the best.

Diamond gives a good interview, and I hope he's doing well today. "I couldn't imagine being named anything else, not Bob, and not John." I feel the same way. Shine on you crazy diamond.

I lost both parents as a young adult, that was scary enough. I hate to think about what these kids go through.

It's hard, I'm still learning now

My heart goes out to aging out youth ....that don't know. Life is not easy for them - but they keep going. I have no excuse.

Great video

ODU! My Alma Mater too, cograts Leis!

His face does not look like a criminal or drug user. I was surprised when he said he once was.

Ok Jimmy, Margaret. Your mum and I are going to have to give you up to foster care in order that you can get a university degree. We'll be thinking of you
