November is National Adoption Month.

Over 122,000 children and youth are in foster care and waiting for a forever family. Many risk aging out of care with no permanent connections.

Brothers and sisters are lifelong. The child welfare system can do a bad job at keeping siblings together. There is more work we can do to ensure that sibling groups stay together, and if they can't, making sure we find ways to nurture sibling bonds.

Foster care has always been tough. https://t.co/krk621YM84

Foster Care Was Always Tough. Covid-19 Made It Tougher. https://t.co/TtU8gtjtNA

An already complex system that varies state to state - each navigating the pandemic on its own - means that a child's experience in foster care can be completely different from county to county.
