Foster kids are just like any other kind of kids… except that they aren’t. That’s confusing, I know – let me explain.

Foster kids are just like any other kind of kids – meaning they have the same needs, wants, desires as any other kid their age. They require basic human needs: love, attention, food and shelter. Foster kids are different from other kids in that they sometimes don’t know where those basic needs will come from. They can bounce from home to home, year after year, never knowing permanency. With luck, they will get adopted out of the foster care system. Unfortunately some kids don’t have that kind of luck.
