GRADUATION MEANS THAT THEY ARE FULLY EMPLOYED (OR PARTIALLY EMPLOYED AND IN SCHOOL), HAVE THEIR OWN PLACE TO LIVE AND ARE IN MANY CASES REUNITED WITH THEIR CHILDREN. WE HAVE HAD 8 MOMS RECEIVE BACK A TOTAL OF 19 CHILDREN FROM FOSTER CARE IN JUST THE PAST TWO YEARS. WE ARE NOW WELL-REGARDED AS ADVOCATES WITHIN THE FOSTER CARE AND SOCIAL SERVICES SYSTEM.
