States get chance to experiment with child welfare systems
Devon, a 16-year old boy who lives in Clearwater, Florida, went into foster care when he was eight months old. He lived in a group home in his early teen-age years and was on track to stay there until he turned 18. But that didn't happen. Today, as a high school junior, he's busy playing guitar in local gigs, participating in ROTC, and volunteering in the community with Natalie Jernigan, the woman who adopted him just this past March.
