An odd 13–I was removed from my parents custody at the age of 4. My case goal was APPLA which means I aged out and was never was reunified with my parents or adopted.

This is a question with many origins. I've always wanted to write a book about my experiences, but I had not figured out the details of my story to transform it into a compelling one so, I kind of put it off. The idea made my vision board every new year but I never made it a completed goal. Then, I grew tired of identifying myself with foster care and often wanted to forget about the experience all together. It wasn't until I was unexpectedly asked about my experience as a child in foster care by a child I was serving as a Case Manager. In addition, the universe sent quite a few "tell your story" messages, it finally came to me, keeping my story to myself felt selfish.
