Letter to the Editor: National Foster Care Month

By Jennifer Moody
Personal commentary

This May, the Children's Bureau celebrates National Foster Care Month, recognizing and promoting the efforts to enhance the lives of children and youth in foster care. On May 3, 2015, Kentucky reported having all-time record high number of children living in out-of-home care. This is a time to come together on behalf of over 7,000 Kentucky children who are living in foster care because their own families are in crisis. This month provides the opportunity to thank the foster families who provide homes and love to children who need them, and to draw attention to the need for more families who can take on this challenge in our community.
