May is National Foster Care Month - You Can Change a Lifetime!

All children deserve a safe, happy life - including the 496,000 American children and youth in foster care. Young people in foster care especially need nurturing adults on their side because their own families are in crisis and
unable to care for them.
 
Each May, we salute the compassionate people who make a difference by serving as foster parents, relative
caregivers, mentors, advocates, social workers, and volunteers. Thanks to these unsung heroes, many formerly abused or neglected children and teens will either safely reunite with their parents, be cared for by relatives, or be adopted by loving families.

But some children in foster care are less fortunate. Most communities across the country are urgently seeking more everyday people to help these youth overcome their troubled childhoods and realize their full potential. No matter what their age, every young person in foster care benefits from a meaningful connection to a caring adult who becomes a supportive and lasting presence in his or her life. 

Take a closer look at the number and diversity of people who were once in foster care. It might surprise you.

In fact, there are an estimated 12 million foster care alumni in the U.S. representing all walks of life.  Behind this startling statistic are countless stories of children who grew up to be thriving adults while others struggled with life’s challenges all alone. The difference between triumph and tragedy will become very clear as you read about these foster care alumni. Success stories come about when someone takes the time to offer comfort, provide
support, give advice, or simply share a milestone moment with a youngster enduring a difficult family situation. 

Now is the time to get involved. No matter how much time you have to give, you have the power to do something positive that will Change a Lifetime for a young person in foster care.
