(Austin, TX)—In the U.S., there are more than 428,000 children in the foster care system on any given day, and more than 30,000 of those children live in Texas. Many youth in the foster care system experience feelings of neglect, abandonment, physical and/or mental illness, as well as addiction, which tremendously affects their physical and emotional wellbeing. Compounding these complex challenges is the high risk of teen pregnancy faced by foster care youth.
