IHBM ND Issue 15 – Apr|May|Jun 2021 (Cover 1-Includes Cover 2)

With more than 440,000 U.S. children in Foster Care, and an average of only 200,000 licensed foster homes, 30-60% of which drop out each year, there’s no denying that the need for loving foster families is great. Our Community Impact Theme for our April|May|June 2021 issue of IHBM-ND is to create conversation and understanding around the undeniable impacts of Foster Care and the increasing need for loving Foster Families (and Forever Families for the 122,000 foster youth waiting to be adopted) by sharing stories about Foster Care (and Adoption) from a variety of perspectives.* (*Statistics are based on an ever-changing average.)
