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
foster children. Although there are only sixty-one stories in this
book, there could be millions. These stories are dedicated 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.
FACT is for former foster children who are tired of being angry,
ashamed, and alone, and choose to walk a new path, sharing their
experience, strength, and hope while building a bridge to
healing.
Carol's foster care experience led her to form FACT and write
this book. She had an early education in the school of hard knocks
and later graduated from the University of Michigan-Dearborn with
very high honors. She resides in Michigan with her husband Larry.
This book is also available as an e-book and other resources can be
