The Fostering Connections Story Project

The Story Project highlights specific examples of how the Fostering Connections Act has led to improvements in the lives of children, youth and families.  Some stories highlight ways in which the Act has brought about system-wide changes aimed at promoting better outcomes for children in foster care.   We are grateful to those individuals who shared their stories with us.
