I am amazed to see how many placements kids go through while in foster care. I hope you do pursue the law degree and advocate for the children in the system. I was a previous social worker myself and currently therapist and foster mother. Many of my kids have been in multiply placements by the time I get them. I wrote a book on the system around this topic and the needs for change. I love seeing kids who have been through this succeed. Stacey Soares (www.staceysoares.com)
