Voices of Youth

Young people can offer experience and valuable information about their own needs and the needs of their peers, which can help shape practices and programs. In this section, you will find narratives written by youth formerly in foster care on the topics of family and home and videos depicting the benefits of adoption for older youth. Share these firsthand accounts with professionals, teens in care, and prospective adoptive families to help them understand why permanency and youth engagement are so important.
