What Does It Feel Like To Be Invisible?

How would you feel if you were displaced, with no stable home and no one to protect, encourage, or support you? Many of the children in foster care come from minority backgrounds and are victims of a series of foster care placements and experiences. This repeated movement not only separates siblings, but often crosses multiple county lines and cultures. Without the extended support of a family, children in foster care face enormous challenges in building successful lives.
