While this #NationalAdoptionDay may look different this year, one thing remains true—young people deserve to find love + stability in a family, and we are committed to supporting them on that path to permanency. Join us for the kick-off celebration! bit.ly/36EBexY

#FosterCareMonth is another opportunity to challenge stereotypes about young people who experience foster care during their lifetime. Just like any other young person, they have dreams and just need the guidance to achieve them. Meet Jessie: buff.ly/2W5bO8w @PBSSoCal

"Trauma either destroys or inspires." Former #foster youth Tiffany explains she could have done the easy thing and gone around hurting people b/c she was hurting. She built up her resume instead. #FindingHomePBS

Mentors can provide #fosteryouth with guidance of all kinds. And also a way out of the rain, and a person who picks up the phone. #FindingHomePBS

“Friday’s Child,” a film that premiered at SXSW, highlights the challenges of a foster teen who “aged out” of the foster care system. Unfortunately, this is a reality for 26,000 foster kids each year. Watch an interview about the film: bit.ly/2u1c9Nk

Too many foster youth suffer due to involvement with the criminal justice system. Foster care can often be a pipeline to prison, as 80% of men in CA state prisons come from foster care. We want to stop this, and have an opportunity that is a first step. #FosterYouthDoMakeIt

On #WorldAIDSDay, we reflect on the advances in the fight against HIV/AIDS, honor the work of advocates and scientists, and remember our loved ones living with — or lost to — this terrible virus. We will not stop working until we find a cure.
