According to USA Facts, over the last decade, the average number of youth in foster care in a single day was more than 400,000. Of the youth in foster care,
~boy and girls are nearly equally represented ~43% of youth are Caucasian and 57% are non-Caucasian (about 22% are Black, 22% are Hispanic, 13% are of other descent) ~the median age of youth in foster is 7 years old ~the median time spent in foster care is 15 months
Children in foster care experience profound impacts related to trauma, separation, abandonment and trust. Some estimates suggest that nearly 80% of youth in foster care will exhibit some form of serious mental health or behavioral need that will require intervention.
This book is for the 400,000 children in foster care. They need affirming messages. They need us; they need our support and love.
