Foster Children Need YOUR Help

Misunderstandings about who foster children are and why they are in care add to the enormous hurdles they face.

MYTH 1 – Nearly half of Americans believe that children are placed into foster care because of juvenile delinquency.

THE TRUTH -Children are removed from their homes due to abuse, neglect, abandonment or the death of their parents.

MYTH 2 – Most Americans (68%) think that foster children can not be adopted.

THE TRUTH – There are more than 100,000 children in America’s foster care system waiting and hoping to be adopted.   
 

MYTH 3 – Of those that are aware of foster care adoption, nearly half (46%) believe that it is expensive. 

THE TRUTH – Foster care adoption is FREE. There may even be a monthly stipend, free college, and free health insurance.

MYTH 4 – Two-thirds of people considering adoption are concerned that the biological parents can take the child back.  

THE TRUTH – Once the adoption is finalized the child(ren) are legally a part of your family - forever.
