While this issue is gaining awareness, there are not enough people who are stepping up to help the children who are our future. While there is a lack of state support for foster youth, there are too many youth in foster care, and not enough people are adopting, there are many other causes of foster children aging out. The outcomes for these children are endless, from having a lack of education, to homelessness, to drug use, to lack of health care, to incarceration; these individuals deserve better than what society gives them. It is our job as productive members of society to do whatever we can to help out the foster youth; especially those who are transitioning out of the foster care system. Whether you decide to raise awareness for this issue, choose to adopt, donate money, there are options for people to help out no matter where you are in your life
