More DescriptionCarol Lucas is proud to present this unique book to people with very unique issues - former foster children. It is her desire that hope for them will be found in the pages of this book.FACT (Fostered Adult Children Together) is a support group for former foster children. It is based on Ten Stepping Stones and the Bridge to Healing. Will we ever get over it? That question is what this book is all about. The stories that the author and other former foster children shared in this book should help answer that question, for themselves and other former, current, and future fostering children. Although there are only sixty-one stories in this book, there could be millions. Those stories as a voice to the unheard millions.The purpose of the foster care system is to provide a safe haven for children without one, helping them to cross the bridge from foster care to aging out, but sadly the bridge leads to nowhere. Many former foster children end up homeless, dumpster diving for food, on drugs, incarcerated, at worst in body bags, at best, living on the fringes of life.
