Finding Our Place - A Guide for Young People Entering Foster Care

Written by young people currently or formerly in foster care, this is a breakthrough handbook for kids first entering the foster care system or for those in placement. Finding Our Place gives youth a kid-to-kid look at getting the best out of their placement. Six sections include a description of the foster care system and its procedures, what to expect at a foster home, how to get along with other foster kids and with the children of a foster family, how to deal with tough emotions, and how to plan for after the placement. A terrific gift of “self-help” for youth in foster care.
