DCFYI

I have had the privilege to intern with Family & Youth Initiative for the month of May and the experience was greater than I ever could have imagined. I have a personal connection to children of adoption and foster care as I was adopted from Russia when I was just a baby. I have been fortunate to be loved and cared for, however, I was never aware of the harder side to adoption/ foster care till now. My high school gave all the seniors a project, which was to go out into the “real world” and learn how we could contribute in it. This is where I found DCFYI. 

If you follow DCFYI on social media (Twitter or Facebook), you have seen our National Foster Care Month "Do You Know" campaign on famous adults who were in foster care as children.

You may remember Davion, the brave fifteen year old who three and a half years ago spoke before a church congregation about his desire to be adopted.
