| Summary: |
Prior to the passage of the Adoption and Safe Families Act, foster care drift posed unique challenges for kids in the child welfare system. This program follows DeLena Hodges who entered that system at age 4 after a case history of parental neglect. By age 14 she was pregnant; by 15 she had lived in 20 different foster homes, before finding a stable, loving environment in the home of foster parent Cathy Brown. While it seemed she was a picture of success, DeLena was still a teenager facing challenges few people could understand - so when she forged two checks in the name of the foster mother she loved, everyone was shocked. |
