To whom it may concern,

My family and our foster child attended the conference. We have nothing but great things to say about it. The education provided to us was very helpful. 

However, the most valuable thing that my family took away from this event was that. It provided a place for our son and others to have being in foster care the norm. I overheard a 12 year old boy asking another boy about why they are in foster care so casually. That conversation wouldn’t happen in normal day life. That was truly impactful for me. 

Thank you!
