Adults from across the country, who spent their childhoods in foster care and are also members of Foster Care Alumni of America celebrate with a Thanksgiving meal in front of the U.S. Capitol, Wednesday. Convened by Foster Care Alumni of America as part of its work with the national Kids Are Waiting campaign, this first-of-its-kind Thanksgiving dinner emphasizes the need for national foster care financing reform, so foster children can move swiftly to safe, permanent families, and so other youth may avoid the need to enter foster care in the first place.
