A Foster Baby's Reality

Before she ever takes her first step and celebrates her first birthday, a foster baby can expect a minimum of 3.2 placements with different foster families.

Before she speaks her first words at age two, she can expect to have lived with 5 different families.

The reasons why foster children are moved from home to home are often complex and hard to understand, but for the child they can leave devastating life-long scars on them.

Makayla was referred to Angels for a family at age 14 months. She had been abandoned by her mother at 8 weeks old, and remained in the home of a relative caregiver for 3 months. After the relative could no longer care for her, she was moved to a foster home where she was one of 3 infants, and 4 older children.

She developed some medical needs, which required frequent visits to the doctor and her foster mother could not provide for her medical needs. At 10 months of age, she moved to her 3rd placement, where she remained for 3 months, at which time this foster home had their license suspended due to allegations of child abuse, at which time Makayla was taken to the Polinsky Center. She remained there until a new home could be found for her, when Angels was contacted about finding her a suitable home.

That was 2 years ago, and Makayla has since been adopted by her Angels family where she has attached and bonded closely with her “forever” family.

Makayla was one of the lucky ones, and was saved from the “resolving door” situation that far too many foster children find themselves having to endure.
