NCFA Releases Adoption Advocate No. 47: Advocating for America's Youth in Foster Care: Perspectives and Recommendations from Former Foster Youth May is National Foster Care Month, and this month's issue of NCFA's Adoption Advocate, "Advocating for America's Youth in Foster Care: Perspectives and Recommendations from Former Foster Youth," is based on interviews with former Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute Foster Youth Interns Jetaine Hart, Marisela Ortiz, Jeremy Long, Jelani Freeman, Mason McFalls, and John Paul Horn. As we work to improve the lives and outcomes of children and youth in foster care, we must try to understand the experiences and perspectives of those in care, listen to them, and act on their recommendations. It is NCFA's hope that the thoughtful, honest, and compelling responses shared by these former Foster Youth Interns will help adoption and child welfare advocates better understand and work for the best interests of the many thousands of children and youth in foster care.    Click here to download the PDF of Adoption Advocate No. 47 or click here to view the web version.
